If your installation hardware is the proper alloy of 300 series stainless, it is non-magnetic, so shouldn't cause a problem. If you don't mind using a relatively soft metal, you could always try brass. Titanium might work as well.

I have a D60 with the D10A and hope to put mine in within a month or two. I am curious to see if the bolts cause any problems with the compass. The manual says to have it away from any magnetic metals. essage to krnet-le...@mylist.net please see other KRnet info at http://www.krnet.org/info.html
