American Thunderbird Flints

I have an American Thunderbird soft flame lighter that I love but the flint is worn out. Does anybody know if these will take a standard Zippo flint? I've never had to replace it before.

Be careful. I have an IM Corona Double Corona and saw a warning in the IM Corona website against using Zippo flints in it. Zippo flints are harder than the Corona flints and using Zippos in it could wreck the flint wheel.

This outfit has Thunderbird flints. http://www.winnipesaukeecigar.com/Ve...CLITFLINT.html

I have an old snuff tin full of flints from Bic lighters. Whenever one of my Bic's die I pull out the flint and save it, I pull 'em outta Bic's my friends throw away too. I've never found anything they wouldn't work in.
