I have a GSI Creos PS289. For some reason I've had to disassemble and clean the valve assembly as well every session which I found out was unusual. Read that the O-ring might get fucked by harsh cleaning solutions, and I use pure butyl acetate to clean the airbrush, so I think I should replace the valve.

While cleaning it today, spring fell from the table and is now lost to the void. I can't find any spare parts for GSI Creos airbrushes where I'm from (Australia), so I'd have to get it from Spraygunner and pay more for shipping. But I can get Iwata spare parts relatively easily, and I was looking at getting the I-609-1 (valve with O-ring) and I-035-1(valve spring). I've read that Iwata and GSI creos have good compatibility when it comes to needles and nozzles, but has anyone tried it with internal parts like these?
