hello
because i have been asked for a tut i open a topic!

English tutorial from Frip:

Spoiler:

Ok..

Parts needed:

~> RSVP 1x (Complete pen, except backplug)
~> Pilot G2 1x (same part as for MMX, and spring)
~> HGG 1x (Grip, Tip, Inktube)
~> The noname pen 1x (Everything except Tip, inktube and spring) Pic: http://img204.imageshack.us/img204/2633/pic0043gv4.jpg or http://www.werbemittel.biz/Kugelschreiber/...schreiber42.JPG

Preparation of the indivdual pieces:

G2 backpart:(part 1)

Spoiler:

Cut the 9mm piece as shown in the picture.
IT'S IMPORTANT THAT THE G2 IS SMOOTH ON THE INSIDE! (Take scissors or something and just kind of carve it out)

HGG Tip

~> Make sure the RSVP inktube fits through smoothly.

RSVP Grip:

~> Cut it so that the part WITHOUT the ring is only 12mm.

RSVP Body:

~> Cut off about 2-3 mm on the front of the RSVP. After that the RSVP inktube should easily fit through ->completly<-.
~> Cut off the place where the backplug screwed on so that it'll be only 4.5 mm.
~> Sand down 'spirals" (damnit I have no clue what to call it lol. IT's the same part in the step before this one. It's where the RSVP backplug used to be. Sand it until the G2 piece fits on easily. DO NOT USE FORCE TO PUT THE G2 PIECE ON.

The Inktube:

tesa=tape ,Mine=ink
-take the RSVP Inktube and roll some tape 6,5 cm away from the front around it. it should be so much tape, that you don't get the G2 spring about it, but i should still go into the rsvp body.
-take a short part from the hgg ink (3-4mm) and pull it over the RSVP ink. there should be 3 mm between hgg ink and the end of the RSVP ink. then connect the hgg ink and RSVP ink, so that you can't easily move the hgg ink anymore.
[hope you understand!^^]

Back Part of the mechanism: (part 2)

~> Break off the clip.
~> Cut off ~5mm from the front of it. (There are supposed to be only 2 rings left on the inside... I don't know what rings...you'll probably see it once you have the part)
~> Now cut off from the back so that the mechanism stays intact. (should be ~15mm)
~> Sand down the edges a bit

Center Part of the mechanism (White) Part 3:

-> Cut off a piece from the front ( Front = thinner part) so that the rest will be 15mm.

Front Part of the mechanism: (part 4)

+1337 Paint picture for better understanding:

(Ringe = rings , am besten = it's best/ 6mm is best)
The red line shows where to cut/sand down
-> Cut off the part with the rings
~> Sand down this piece. BUT leave two rings on the back the way they are! (Don't file down the 2 back rings!!!) You're done with sanding when you can push this piece 5mm into the G2 part. (This is probably the hardest part. The piece you're sanding down can break while sanding so be careful!
Make sure the part you just sanded down is smooth! (I mean... REALLY Smooth.. get some lube man) And also make sure that you can push the part into the G2 piece WITHOUT APPLYING FORCE(otherwise the G2 part could break)

Putting everything together:

~> Put HGG Tip + Grip on the front of the RSVP. Similar to the Mx. (Make sure the HGG tip is screwed on tighly and straight)
~> Put G2 spring into RSVP Body
~> Put RSVP Inktube into RSVP body
~> Put G2 piece (Part 1) onto RSVP body (it'll be best if you glue it)
~> now put the front mechanism (part 4) into the G2 piece until it won't go any further. GLUE IT.
~> Put part 3 (center mechanism) into part 4.(front mechanism)
~> Then put on part 2. (back mechanism)

Once done, it should look like this:

test if the mechanism is working... if not -> find the mistake. Turn the mechanism to test it ^^

If it works:

~> Put RSVP Grip into cap
~> Push the mechanism into the cap until it won't go any further. Put some tape on it so it'll be tight.
~> Put everything together

~> Test if it works.
~> Be happy.

Advice: if it works, and you don't want to change the insert, DON'T TAKE THE CAP OFF. you can have some problems to get it on again!

Really big thanks to Frip!!!

some other infos:(the old part of this post^^)

Spoiler:

here is a tut in german:
tut

some time ago i have won the GPC Modding Contest with this pen

the mod is retractable. he looks like a normal RSVP MX but if you twist the cap he writes!!!
here some pictures:

the problem of the mod is, that he is hard to mod and that you need a noname for him

here the noname you need:

you cannot buy it(only you take 1000 of it at once^^) but here in germany he is an common advertising pen!
i think with some luck you will find it, where you live.(i have already collected about 10 without searching for it^^)
if you don't find this noname, perhaps i can trade you 1 or 2-> PM

but i must say again: the mod is really hard to make( i think it takes 2-3 hours all in all) if you dont have some modding skills, i wouldnt try it

if you habe a problem with the tut or something else ask me! i dont bite you

How does it retract? Do you just push the cap down or something? Because if it does, does it fall off sometimes?

If you read carefully, you would see that it writes when you twist the cap

Put G2 Inktube into RsVP body

Right, so instead of having a RSVP I right now got a Pentel Sunburst as a sub. The thing is the G2 Inktube is to big for it. So....

i must mean: "put the RSVP Ink into the RSVP body!

and he forgot the preparation of the RSVP Ink. i have added one into first post!
