Bob. I have just the one brush. It came with the standard 0.4mm needle. So i bought a 0.2mm conversion kit from John. I can change between them within 5 mins
Will do Al. How does the nozzle fit in a H an S? The Iwata is a push fit, but on the one i have just repaired pliers had to be used so can see it being damaged after a few swops
Thinking of changing my one brush to 0.2mm and leave the other at 0.35mm??
When I the swap needle & nozzle on mine it takes longer to get them out of their case in the drawer than change the parts. Once the parts are laid out it's maybe 30 seconds taking it steady, 10-15 if you are in a rush. Everything just unscrews with fingers, no tools needed.
Iwata is a push fit nozzle, so afraid of causing damage after time. The nozzle in the damaged one had to be removed with pliers so do not think its designed for regular removing?
Not sure about that Bob as I haven't got an Iwata brush. Would seem strange for them though, for it to be hard to remove I mean, since it's something you'd probably do regularly for thorough cleaning. Is there any crud built up where it fits causing it to be sticky?
With a H&S the nozzle slips inside the air cap and the assembly screws on in one piece.
Hi Bob
My Iwata has a screw fit nozzle. It comes with a special little spanner. It is quite a delicate set up so care is needed to prevent damage or a crossed thread. The H&S nozzle is held in by the screw in nozzle cap which screws/unscrews with your fingers.
Hope you get things sorted.

Do you know something Bob you are totally correct. I always thought my brush set up was a 0.4mm/0.2mm. But checking the reference numbers on the item boxes i have they are indeed 0.5mm/0.3mm.
Well the 0.3mm set up i use is perfect for Luftwaffe mottling. Just thinking of investing in a digital pressure gauge so i can accurately set up my spraying airflow
I think I might agree with that tech Bob and stick with the bigger nozzles. As long as I can keep my trigger finger under control I can't really see the disadvantages for what I/We do. It's not like we're trying to paint sub millimetre lines very often or at all.
