I must say I love the clean look of that smaller seal nut and tightening from the out side would suite me just fine although with the CM SB I can see what I am doing trough the window

since I have bought that special nut screw driver I insert it from the back and watch trough the window if I insert it right , and before I had the screwdriver I did indeed adjusted it from the side trough the window .
the window as such has never bothered me when I hold the airbrush my fingers dont touch it but I have small hands
That looks cool Buddy. Nice job making it.Developed new sealing nut for new soft O-rings. Works great.
Looks not the same as stock one for some reasons, thought it could be manufactured having exactly the same shape.
One reason is I don't like stock nuts, as it's not possible to see what's been dialed, one can only trust the feel of the needle movement. It's for the reason stock nut has 3 "rays" design. Mine has only one and its much better to see what I dial each time. It's especially important for soft seal where your needle is sealed at the moment the O-ring just touches the AB body inside, what's not possible to do with the stock look, you need to see at what position O-ring touches the body for further tightening/loosing the seal. Generally, it's all about better control of the seal.
Another thing is tightening the nut from outside the body (from the window) works not for better centering the nut inside the body, that affects the nozzle centering also.
This one gives better control of paint leak, if one would appear.
The thing looks like that installed in the tool.

I remember how @crewchief227 's nut looked BTW, could you post that photo here, if you haven't thrown it away?
@Vladimir if you want one of those chewed Micron packings to mod I'll trade you one of those for one of your o-rings & two trigger springs.
Oh yeah duh, forgot. And I thought you're modding cheap chianeese parts cause you couldn't do non standard threads? Anyways here's a pic of one of the chewed ones.No, I don't I did my own, why would I need to modify the one with the teflon? Mine were done from a scratch.
I just wanted your packing nut to be shown here, so people would understand what adjusting from side window makes to the nut.
I guess, you're mistaken, I'm not @DaveG who has what you've mentioned, for at least now I don't have my O-rings and the springs I've bought them for myself from different continents of this planet

I have a few of the Chinese packing screws that fit the Iwata, no problem. There are so many different ones being produced now it is hard to tell what is what with a blanket statement.Thanx for the photo! Great illustration for what I'm saying.
In this case chinese nut will not fit Iwata. BTW it's Iwata nut has non standard threads.
I can do many threads
non standard? Are they swiss?

...and, right? Iwata threads seem to have standard pitch, but their major and minor diameters are interesting, to say the least.
@Vladimir I think I forgot to post the reply on your question about the pic of the tool and the nut
@Vladimir I am not sure if you can see but the nut only has damage from trying to remove it with a normal screwdriver ( top side) but not at the sides as shown on the other nut but I was always real careful when I adjusted the nut trough the window
soory Vladimir but I have only a simple camera that cant take any macro pics and I cant see if the pic is not clear
Me either, that's why I have two new one on my MicronsYes, I can't, the image is not that clear to see the damage. Macro photo picture would be better.
I only tried to tighten the nut from the side and immediately understood that I'd end up with the result of @crewchief227 . So didn't continue tightening. And never will do that again, I think.
