Hi Pete,
I don't know much about vertical card compasses, but I do know that
the vertical bar in the center of the windshield and the curved bar at the
trailing edge of the windshield are both steel. That is part of your
roll-over structure. They are hollow square tubing. These bars don't
seem to affect the calibration of my whiskey compass. On the other hand,
if you do have a lot of trouble you may have to degauss them and also your
engine mount. I have a feeling this post will start a whole 'nother
discussion.

Good morning all, I received a vertical card magnetic compass from Santa.
Have any of you mounted one of these to replace the whiskey compass? I
cannot get to my Coupe's interior because of the cold, if I open the
cockpit seals will break and the outer cover is as stiff as a board
anyway. Is the bar which goes between the top of the bubble windshield and
top of the instrument panel steel or aluminum? If it is steel, did it
interfere with the calibration? Lastly, did you find the best way to mount
the unit was on the top of the instrument panel, or use the piper mount
and put it on the bar going from the panel to the top of the windshield? I
would prefer the piper mount but wanted some words of wisdom from you
before going ahead and ordering the mount. Thanks,Pete
