    I was wondering if there was a cap substitute for the KT/CT. Would bic round stic caps work? I would preferably want a suggestion of a pen that can be found in the US and is not too rare. Thank you ahead of time. I am asking this question because I don't want to blow 14 dollars on 2 Dr Grips and have it not work.
    EDIT: I am using a different pen for the body, so I do not need a pen with a suitable body as well. Just the caps would be great.

    i dont think there are substitutes, kt,ct caps are really big, bics are probably the smallest. i still dont think there are subs.........

    Sorry, I didn't know how big they were. Could you show me a picture in comparison to a finger or something?

    Super Fine Tip Sharpie caps, fit perfectly but they don't have the thick circle on the bottom of the cap

    The ones with the metal clips are becoming harder and harder to fine. The ones you see all over are the ones with the plastic clip that have "Sharpie" printed on the side of the cap. dry.gif

    ...you can't find M&M in the USA (regularily)

    Sharpie caps might work, however many american markers either have clips are are much different in shape that KT caps, You could go to an art supply store and try to find something in the double sided markers.
