100N Replacement Seal Install

Recommended Posts

Hello everyone, so I finally got my seal to replace my old Pelikan 100N seal but can't seem to figure out how to install it. I've got everything apart and started to take off the old seal only to find underneath it a pointy end to the piston. How would one install the actual replacement seal though? Would it be glued on? If so, what type of glue is recommended? Also, which end of the seal goes towards the nib and which goes towards the piston? I got my seal from here:

This is what the piston looks like:

Ermm. You can't. That's a cork seal (meaning your pen is an early 100n), not a neoprene (late 100n) seal. You need to make a new cork.

Worse than that, the piston shaft is damaged, and likely beyond repair. You *might* be able to use o-rings, but even that is doubtful. The plastic seal you have will not stay on that shaft in its condition or even if it was in perfect condition because as Provis notes that the cork holding rods and the neoprene rods are different.

 

Your best bet is to find a new piston rod or buy a junk 100N and scavenge it for parts.

I can't tell much from the pictures, but it does seem like other than cork pieces, there are also broken plastic bits that look like the front end of the piston shaft? If that's the case, you need to send it to an expert for restoration. At the very least, you will need to procure a new piston shaft.

With all due respect to the Op. Well..you have an old 100N hard rubber shaft { with cork seal} which has been

trashed..which will need to be replaced. You need a professional..

Now and before..Not exactly..something you should have attempted without proper knowledge. Lesson learned..<thumbup>and of course

this is my personal observation/opinion..

 

Consider this reference by Martin Lehmann and Tom Westerich

in the matter of repair. Also consider the Penguin aka Rick Propas.

You need a piston shaft as previously stated. 100N's are tiny, but good writers and well worth the effort to repair. If Rick does not work out try Pelikan. They may fix it up for you.

      I have the Sailor Naginata and some fancy blade nibs coming after 2022 by a number of new workshop from China.  With all my respect, IMHO, they are all (bleep) in doing chinese characters.  Go use a bush, or at least a bush pen.

      It is the reason why I'm so keen on the idea of a personal library — of pens, nibs, inks, paper products, etc. — and spent so much money, as well as time and effort, to “build” it for myself (because I can't simply remember everything, especially as I'm getting older fast) and my wife, so that we can “know”; and, instead of just disposing of what displeased us, or even just not good enough to be “given the time of day” against competition from >500 other pens and >500 other inks for our at

      Agreed.  And I think it’s good to be aware of this early on and think about at the point of buying rather than rationalizing a purchase..

      Alas, one cannot know “good” without some idea of “bad” against which to contrast; and, as one of my former bosses (back when I was in my twenties) used to say, “on the scale of good to bad…”, it's a spectrum, not a dichotomy. Whereas subjectively acceptable (or tolerable) and unacceptable may well be a dichotomy to someone, and finding whether the threshold or cusp between them lies takes experiencing many degrees of less-than-ideal, especially if the decision is somehow influenced by factors o

      I got my first real fountain pen on my 60th birthday and many hundreds of pens later I’ve often thought of what I should’ve known in the beginning. I have many pens, the majority of which have some objectionable feature. If they are too delicate, or can’t be posted, or they are too precious to face losing , still they are users, but only in very limited environments..  I have a big disliking for pens that have the cap jump into the air and fly off. I object to Pens that dry out, or leave blobs o
