I used a brass screw and nut, as they are non-ferrous. Also not a good mounting point, if there is a dash speaker below, which has huge magnets. :gmc2: |

Here is how mounted my non-GM vintage compass. Problem is that it always shows south. (Parrothead compass) It works fine outside of the truck. Since this photo was taken I installed a 1 1/2" plastic spacer and a brass mounting screw with no improvement
I know that compasses can lose their MOJO over time or the roof has become magnetized. Hopefully someday I can find an accurate replacement. I like having a compass. |

There are magnetic adjusters you can tweak to realign, but if the whole instrument is way off, then you're out of luck. I wish I'd bought a small [2-3/8''] general aviation magnetic compass instrument when they were affordable, but so what. If you say it works outside the truck, then you might try a dash mount, rather than shielding it under the cab roof. |
