I can't find an all black LAMY Safari.

 

The glossy black version has a shiny silver clip.

I wish it was black like it's other models.

 

Question :

How can I replace the cap clip - DIY myself ?

 

I can turn the cap top , ie, the big cross .

But I notice the inside rotates along with it.

 

How is the clip anchored?

 

Appreciate any pointers.

Sorry I forgot to mention,

I am familiar with the charcoal black.

But it's not black but a very deep grey.

When the Safari first came out, the cap screw was just that, a screw which came out and allowed changing of the clip. Over time, Lamy decided to simplify production and the cap "screw" is now press-fit.

Thanks to the pointers provided above ...

 

I carried out a clip swap successfully.... :D

 

I bought a glossy black Safari which had a silver clip.

Then I proceeded to strip the black clip out of my red safari faithful for all these years.

 

http://i169.photobucket.com/albums/u236/TMLee/2011/2011%20HOW-TO/LAMY%20Safari%20Cap%20Clip%20Disassembly/DSCF5878.jpg

For those who are interested to DIY swap your clips, this is how.

 

You need some cylinder to push out the cap top.

I have 2 wooden dowels.

One is a disposable chopstick, and the other

my nib holder for NIKKO G nibs - those they use to draw manga comics.

The diameters were very fittingly useful.

 

Disposable chopstick

http://i169.photobucket.com/albums/u236/TMLee/2011/2011%20HOW-TO/LAMY%20Safari%20Cap%20Clip%20Disassembly/DSCF5880.jpg

 

The head (top) of the chopstick

http://i169.photobucket.com/albums/u236/TMLee/2011/2011%20HOW-TO/LAMY%20Safari%20Cap%20Clip%20Disassembly/DSCF5881.jpg

 

The (food) tip of the same disposable chopstick.

Its tapered and fits exactly the hole which you will see later.

http://i169.photobucket.com/albums/u236/TMLee/2011/2011%20HOW-TO/LAMY%20Safari%20Cap%20Clip%20Disassembly/DSCF5882.jpg

 

 

This is the other 'tool' i used - the nib holder.

Nicely finished and rounded so it won't mar the pen.

http://i169.photobucket.com/albums/u236/TMLee/2011/2011%20HOW-TO/LAMY%20Safari%20Cap%20Clip%20Disassembly/DSCF5885.jpg

 

http://i169.photobucket.com/albums/u236/TMLee/2011/2011%20HOW-TO/LAMY%20Safari%20Cap%20Clip%20Disassembly/DSCF5886.jpg

 

 

Put the dowel into the cap to push out the cap top.

I find this stage difficult.

I eventually used the wooden dowel which is bigger in diameter and pushed better.

The pic here shows the chopstick used , which I didn't feel comfortable - no strength in pushing it.

http://i169.photobucket.com/albums/u236/TMLee/2011/2011%20HOW-TO/LAMY%20Safari%20Cap%20Clip%20Disassembly/DSCF5883.jpg

 

The cap top emerging as it slowly dislodges from its press-fit position

I then reverted to the chopstick to push out the cap top.

I used the tip of the chopstick which was tapered.

It fits exactly the hole.

Here you see the chopstick punching thru

http://i169.photobucket.com/albums/u236/TMLee/2011/2011%20HOW-TO/LAMY%20Safari%20Cap%20Clip%20Disassembly/DSCF5888.jpg

 

 

 

Do the same to the other pen cap.

Here the black cap.

Chopstick removed but the rubber sleeve that clicks your pen remains there between the clip.

http://i169.photobucket.com/albums/u236/TMLee/2011/2011%20HOW-TO/LAMY%20Safari%20Cap%20Clip%20Disassembly/DSCF5897.jpg

 

 

Invert the chopstick and

push out the rubber sleeve.

The Head of the chopstick is the exact size of the rubber sleeve and the pen caps aperture thru which it emerges.

http://i169.photobucket.com/albums/u236/TMLee/2011/2011%20HOW-TO/LAMY%20Safari%20Cap%20Clip%20Disassembly/DSCF5903.jpg

 

 

The rubber sleeve will drop easily out

http://i169.photobucket.com/albums/u236/TMLee/2011/2011%20HOW-TO/LAMY%20Safari%20Cap%20Clip%20Disassembly/DSCF5906.jpg

 

 

The disassembled parts...

The cap top,

the rubber gasket.

the rubber sleeve

http://i169.photobucket.com/albums/u236/TMLee/2011/2011%20HOW-TO/LAMY%20Safari%20Cap%20Clip%20Disassembly/DSCF5905.jpg

 

 

 

HOW TO REMOVE THE CLIP ...

 

This has got to be done carefully.

Why?

The cut ends of the clip are not finished properly, so they are extremely sharp and WILL scratch your cap surface finish if it comes into contact.

 

Draw the wire clip closer to their entry holes.

Draw one tine closer to the hole.

http://i169.photobucket.com/albums/u236/TMLee/2011/2011%20HOW-TO/LAMY%20Safari%20Cap%20Clip%20Disassembly/DSCF5907.jpg

 

 

Since the wire is springy,

gently pull it out of the hole and over the cap top.

http://i169.photobucket.com/albums/u236/TMLee/2011/2011%20HOW-TO/LAMY%20Safari%20Cap%20Clip%20Disassembly/DSCF5908.jpg

 

Another view...

The lower line is outside of its hole.

http://i169.photobucket.com/albums/u236/TMLee/2011/2011%20HOW-TO/LAMY%20Safari%20Cap%20Clip%20Disassembly/DSCF5909.jpg

 

 

Do the same for the other tine.

Of course, don't distort the form of the clip.

 

 

 

Now the black clip is put onto the black cap

Same way ...

don't let the cut clip ends touch the cap or it will scratch your cap.

Next , insert the rubber sleeve from the bottom of the cap.

The rubber sleeve should be inserted fully till it emerges same level as the clip.

http://i169.photobucket.com/albums/u236/TMLee/2011/2011%20HOW-TO/LAMY%20Safari%20Cap%20Clip%20Disassembly/DSCF5910.jpg

 

 

Put the gasket in.

Then of course the cap top

http://i169.photobucket.com/albums/u236/TMLee/2011/2011%20HOW-TO/LAMY%20Safari%20Cap%20Clip%20Disassembly/DSCF5911.jpg

 

 

Using the (fat) dowel again,

invert the cap with everything in place.

Keep pressure on the wooden dowel downwards,

whilst pushing the cap downwards.

This is to press-fit the cap top into the rubber sleeve, sandwiching the clip in between.

http://i169.photobucket.com/albums/u236/TMLee/2011/2011%20HOW-TO/LAMY%20Safari%20Cap%20Clip%20Disassembly/DSCF5913.jpg

 

 

Voila ... !

I now have an ALL BLACK Lamy Safari ....

And so this is possible without damaging the hard rubber gasket at all? I've heard that it is very easily deformed, resulting in a very loose safari cap??

Since the wire is springy,

gently pull it out of the hole and over the cap top.

Another view...

The lower line is outside of its hole.

Do the same for the other tine.

Of course, don't distort the form of the clip.

 

 

 

Now the black clip is put onto the black cap

Same way ...

don't let the cut clip ends touch the cap or it will scratch your cap.

Next , insert the rubber sleeve from the bottom of the cap.

The rubber sleeve should be inserted fully till it emerges same level as the clip.

Put the gasket in.

Then of course the cap top

Using the (fat) dowel again,

invert the cap with everything in place.

Keep pressure on the wooden dowel downwards,

whilst pushing the cap downwards.

This is to press-fit the cap top into the rubber sleeve, sandwiching the clip in between.

      My notes and advice on fountain pen cleaning

      By inkstainedruth · Posted

      @asota -- Yeah, I think I have a few rolls in my fridge that are probably 20-30 years old at this point (don't remember now if they are B&W or color film) and don't even really know where to get the film processed, once the drive through kiosks went away....  I just did a quick Google search and (in theory) there was a place the next town over from me -- but got a 404 error message when I tried to click on the link....  Ruth Morrisson aka inkstainedruth

      There is still chemistry for processing regular chrome (positive) films like Kodak Ektachrome and Fuji Velvia, but Kodachrome was a completely different and multistep beast.

      Ah, but how to get it processed - that is the question. I believe that the last machine able to run K-14 (Kodachrome processing) ceased to operate some 15 or so years ago. Perhaps the film will be worth something as a curiosity in my estate sale when I die. 😺

      Take a lot of photos!   If the film has deteriorated or 'gone off' in any way, you can use that as a 'feature' to take 'arty' pictures - whether of landmarks, or people, or whatever.
