Help! Pilot Feed Replacement

May 1, 2017

Dear Forum members,

I was trying myself at troubleshooting a pilot pen and I broke the feed -.- Before people suggest it, sending it in to Pilot is not an option. I thought it wouldn´t be a big deal but it turns out I really can´t find a feed online. I hope someone here knows a good site for replacement parts or has the feed maybe. The name of the feed would also help a lot. I will be grateful for any help since it is my favourite pen and I want it fixed asap. Here are some photos of the feed in question:

I hope you can help me.

Pilot don't sell separate feeds, but if you can tell us the pen it came of people might be able to suggest a cheap donor pen...

Ouch! Beautiful pen.

I think the cheapest/easiest option would be to pick up a Custom 742 as a donor pen. If that's the route you take, use it as an opportunity to pick up a specialty nib.

That is the Pilot #10 feed.

You actually might want to send it in to Pilot.

Although how did you end up breaking the feed?

Up. Buy a 742. Then stop fixing things.

This is what happens when you try stupid fixes when you dont know what you are doing. Take Jar's advice, and stop trying to "fix" your pens.

Anyone figure out a solution here?

Would the feed from a Pilot 912 be the same? If it is its available from flexible nibs folks.

I think so? I'm probably going to get that one, but it's a bit pricey to just take a flyer on.

The replacement feed from flex nib factory for a 912 is definitely a pilot #10 size, but I believe there may be slight variations in design between the FA nib that is designed for and other pilot #10 nibs. You should email flex nib factory with the exact details of the pen and nib you have, they have always been very responsive and informative when I've asked questions in the past.
