found this one on amazon. it just needs to be a 3/4" 16tpi.

note, they are right about the mandrel, but if you want to drill the blank on the lathe, you'll need a jacobs chuck and a regular one. I got a cheap Grizzly and it works great on my harbor freight lathe(18x10)

Side note, some pen kits are fine to turn between centers but a mandrel is certainly the safest.
