I have a couple of solid beater Sheaffers, one a vac and the other a snorkel, with triumph nibs. Both have the same issue in that the tines are spread too far apart. With just slight pressure on the top of the tip the tines come together perfectly. But, try as I might, I can’t adjust the tines to stay in that position. I am astounded by the stiffness of the triumph nibs. I have used more force that I would use if I were trying to break a barrel in half and still nothing. I spend a great deal of effort supporting the feed and section so that is less likely to happen but I have long passed the level of force that I am comfortable with using.
Is there some secret to adjusting the tines on triumph nibs to get them back together?
