Replacement nib for a Pilot Prera

[missclimpson]

I bought a Pilot Prera with a fine nib and it's just too fine for me. Can I replace it with a medium? Where could I get a medium?

I don't think you can get a replacement nib only. Pilot does not sell parts. My recommendation is to post a thread in Market place to see if someone would trade it with an M nib. Prera nibs pull out easily so you should be able to just exchange the nib. Or, sell your fine nibbed one on Market Place and buy an M nib one. Ujuku sells M nib Preras (sorry I can't attach a link right now, but search FPN or Google "ujuku". Good luck!

I am also after a medium nib for my Pilot Perera. I googled ujuku but could not get to the site. I'm in Sydney, Australia.

Kind Regards, Lester

Your best bet is to pick up a PIlot 78G and exchange the nib. I think the PIlot 78G is the cheapest alternative out there but the Plumix or Penmanship might be a good choice. Whichever is cheaper anyways

I think we should be a little careful here: the 78G, AFAIK, is only supplied with an italic (stub, really) nib; I know for certain that the Plumix only comes with this same nib (the 78G is gold-toned). Additionally, the Penmanship is an EF nib. So those pens won't yield a Medium that the OP is looking for.

 

If I'm way off-base, I'm happy to be corrected. This is what I remember from shopping in the past.

Pilot Metropolitan and Kakuno also have nibs that are compatible with the prera.

This is as pricey as a pen with a medium nib.
