I seam to have A problem with destroying airbrushes, so far dropping 2 and damaging one beyond repair. This one I was able to save, the only damage was to the trigger. The air and paint valve still worked, I just needed to make a new one [attachment=3852]I started to shape a #10 screw to match the damaged trigger on the left.
[attachment=3851]Then I placed it in my improvised milling machine and cut a grove for the brushes needle to pass through.
[attachment=3850]Here you can see the stem of the air valve that the trigger attaches to and the tight clearances that you have to work with.
