Gel Refill for Montblanc Rollerball?
I'd liked to convert my Montblanc rollerball into a gel ball. I like
the rollerball, but I like gel balls even better. Is there a gel refill that fits a Montblanc rollerball? |

Take refill of Pilot G-2. Remove that cap from its other end. Shorten that translucent tube and put that cap back back to that open end. -- Juhapekka "naula" Tolvanen * http colon slash slash iki dot fi slash juhtolv "Sou sa, ima mo ore wa mitsukerarenai sonzai no imi ga, dakara motto motto motto motto motto kono karada ni imi wo kizamitsukeru: 'Tada waratte, fuminijireba ii.'"

I think it's the other way around -- a Montblanc refill is longer than a G2 refill. E.g.: http://www.instructables.com/id/EWAM...71N2/?ALLSTEPS So to put a G2 refill in a Montblanc, you'd have to find a way to lengthen it. Brian -- |

The G2 refill is shorter than the Montblanc rollerball refill. Even so, it won't fit, because it isn't threaded like the Montblanc rollerball refill. It simply wont insert far enough into the pen. Even if you could insert it all the way, it wouldn't be functional (at least without a spacer of some kind). It would move up and down due its shortness and the lack of threading. |

It would move up and down due its shortness and the lack of threading. So it looks like you'd have to do something like swap the endcaps of the refills and machine (turn down or tap) the lower step of the G2 refill -- which might not be possible, unless the plastic is really thick there. Well, something might still turn up, so I hope other people read this thread. I have a 1950s Waterman "Sapphire" ballpoint, and I thought *nothing* current would fit it (it has an unusual form). I heavily modified a Cross refill to fit... then found out a Cartier "Must" refill works. Brian -- |

Actually I was thinking about that WWW-page but I remembered it wrong way. Aha! When I read that page again, I come up to this suggestion: Take that blue thing from Montblanc refill. Remove that black thing from Pilot G-2 -refill and then put that blue thing to to that place. -- Juhapekka "naula" Tolvanen * http colon slash slash iki dot fi slash juhtolv "Sou sa, ima mo ore wa mitsukerarenai sonzai no imi ga, dakara motto motto motto motto motto kono karada ni imi wo kizamitsukeru: 'Tada waratte, fuminijireba ii.'"

A Monteverde USA Capless Gel Refill will perfectly fit a Montblanc Ballpoint Pen. Can be bought in fine, medium and broad points. |

Seconding this, but would also recommend the Schmidt 888 ( https://unsharpen.com/refill/schmidt...erball-refill/ ) for a cheap and reliable option. |
