Parker Victory - pressure bar

Good evening everyone, hope you and your loved ones are all safe.
I wanted to change the sac to my Parker Victory pen. It is a push button pen. I thought that in all push buttons, like a few other Parkers and Watermans I have, the section was simply inserted into the barrel. Not on this one, this one is screwed on. Anyway I got it off using a hair dryer and a few turns.
I replaced the sac, rescrewed on the section with a bit of silicon grease on the thread, inserted the pressure bar and the push button does not work, it looks like the bar is now short.
Removed the sac, tried the button and bar alone, the bar disappears in the barrel and does not work. I didn't know pressure bars shrunk :-(
New pressure bar ?
 
An update is required. I ordered the new pressurebar on the 3rd of April and it arrived this morning.
I had to shorten the bar a few mms and used the Dremel tool.
Inserted the new sac, reassembled the pen and filled it with the new ink I bought, Waterman's green.
I started writing today's diary, as I've been doing since I repaired the Vacumatic and filled the Pelikan 120.
Now I have three inked pens to juggle on a daily basis :)
I also ordered the Ink Sac Peg Gauge while I ws at it.
Now I can order the correct ink sacs when I need them :)

Have a nice day and stay safe.
Marco
