Delta Parts Question

[esojay]

Hi everyone,

I have an original Delta Pompeii lever fill pen that I am in the process of repairing. Im also repairing a Delta Venezia lever fill pen. I have had both for a while. The pressure bar in the Pompeii has rusted. What would be a currently-available bar that I could use as a replacement? I may also need one for the Venezia, but I havent yet been able to access the sac. Does anybody out there remember how to disassemble the Delta Venezia? Any help would be appreciated. Thanks.

On the Pompeii, it sounds like you've removed the J-bar ("pressure bar" the term typically applied to the similar part for button-fillers). If so, you're probably safe with any same-size J-bar from a donor or from a parts seller on the web. These are generic parts, like sacs. You can change the "bend" or snip the length to get the new part to match the old one, and gently use the long nose - or better yet the long handle surgical grabber - to place the new one, making certain that the long flat part of the J-bar engages against the lever mechanism.
