Hi,
I have bought what would seem to be some obsolete pen kits by Record Power, PPK3, 5 and 9, I also bought some random bushing packs that were on the shelf PBS 2, 4 ,5 does anyone know what bushing goes with which pen clearly PBS 5 does not go with PPK5.
Does anyone have a list of which bushes go with each pen kit?

Thanks
 
I would not bother trying to match up marketing part numbers.
Just measure the relevant kit parts and select a bush to match.
 
If only it were that simple....... you suppose that the bushings I have match the pen kits, I have no idea what the pen kits are supposed to look like finished

Surely the tube lengths determine the location regarding the Nose, Central band if applicable and Top Cap, laying those out with any other internal components should give you an assembly order.
Then match bushings to Nose, Band and Cap.

Anything you turn, wood or acrylic, has to match the diameter of those components therefore all you need are equivalent bushings.

If you don't have suitable diameter bushings you can still turn to size with smaller or cone bushings using callipers, just needs more care.

As for not knowing what the kits should look like the images are not hard to find.

And the Record site has probably got the relevant bushing info.
