The compass works fine, the
problem is with the size hole
needed to mount it. You need
to make a 2 1/16 hole. No
problem you say? Just go to
any hardware store and buy the
right sized hole saw. NOPE!
No retail store within 50
miles of where I live carries
that size. The common size is
2 and 2 1/4. Eventually I
bought a 2 and a curved file
and went to work.
The compass has a pretty nifty
design on how to handle
different thicknesses of mount
locations. There a ring that
screws onto the back of the
compass made of nylon and has
a stainless steel insert that
can move up and down the cut
threads of the ring. Adjust
this SS insert so that it
tightens against the compass
body at the point the ring
meets the mounting plate you
drilled the hole in.
There are contacts for a light
inside. They are spade lugs.
They come straight off the
back. This makes it necessary
to have a pretty deep mounting
location if you choose to
light things up. I would have
preferred the spade blades
came out the sides so the
wires wouldnt need more depth
than just the length of the
compass.
