Airpath compass repair kits. Includes (2) Gaskets, (1) Deviation Card, (1) Diaphram. With or without 1/2 pint of Compass Fluid. |
Easy repair for my previously 1/2 full compass. In my case the old gaskets came off easily. The instructions say to fill from the back (diaphragm side) submerging the compass body in fluid. Unless you have a perfectly sized, preferably square tank in which to submerge the compass (or make one), the kit will not have enough fluid for this method. Following a prior suggestion, I filled the unit from the front, setting the glass gently on top of the gasket and fluid in the filled body. Then gently screwed it together. This worked perfectly with no bubbles, and I had plenty of fluid from the kit due to virtually no waste this way. The instructions warn to install the glass in the same way as removed due to a bevel . There is a top and bottom for sure, but I could not find a bevel (suspect a red herring on that). However, I kept track of inside/outside and reassembled as it was with no issues. Nice to have a full compass again!
