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!

Worked perfectly and reasonably priced.

Does the job nicely. In my case only the rear diaphragm was leaking, I should have left the front face untouched as that was quite difficult to safely remove.

I have fixed two compasses now. Follow instructions. Key is to submerge compass and rotate on its side to remove bubble. I needed two more pints of fluid to fill my bowl to do this. In the end, it worked great.

It worked well for me. I would recommend it. I ended up filling the unit through the front rather than rear membrane since there is not enough liquid to submerge the whole unit. Ended up bubble free.

As most people have already mentioned, the 1/2 pint included is not nearly enough to immerse your compass thoroughly in a container that is big enough to get your fingers into in order to remove all air from inside. You will need another 1/2 pint, if not two!

Perfect!

Did the job and the service was fast.

Works great

Start to finish 1/2 hour. Directions were not the best but it was easy enough to figure it out. Super happy with the results. Hardest part was taking it out and reinstalling it.

Exactly what I needed. Was easy to use and did the job. AC shipped quickly as usual.

As requested and delivered on time.

Exactly what was needed - shipped quickly. Thanks

As advertised. Plenty of extra fluid. Some compasses has a filler plug on top I suggest replacing the o-ring on the plug (not in this kit-order separately) as my leak was from a perished o-ring.

The kit was exactly what I needed and had all the proper gaskets and fit perfectly in my Airpath compass!

Perfect repair kit to rejuvenate your compass for a great price.

This is a complete kit for restoring a magnetic compass to like-new condition! The seal, gasket, and diaphragm are all top quality, and theres plenty of compass fluid provided to refill several times over. Great value and highly recommended!

Used this to replace a cracked glass in an unbranded compass. The glass was a little too wide but some careful grinding brought it down to size and now my compass holds fluid again.

This product came complete. It is of the quality I have come to expect from Aircraft Spruce. I highly recommend this product and any other I have purchased from Aircraft Spruce as meeting or exceeding my expectations. I have ordered many items from Aircraft Spruce and they have all been as advertised and as I expected. Additionally the phone service is to be envied. The operators are polite and knowledgeable. I wish all I have to do phone business with were equal to Aircraft Spruce.

Wed be talking about 5 stars if there was a bit more fluid. The gaskets are perfect, the instructions absolutely clear and straight forward. However, youve got to find the perfect size container so the compass will be completely submerged in order to get it completely filled and the bubbles removed. The struggle is once you find a container to fit the entire compass, the 8oz provided is not enough fluid. I ended up buying the quart size bottle later which worked perfectly. Save yourself some trouble (and addl shipping) and just get the quart now. Once I had the bigger bottle in hand the entire process took just a few moments. Bingo, working compass!

The kit was fine, but the instructions for getting all the bubbles out of the compass were not helpful. It was much more effective to slightly overfill the fill spout and rock the compass till all the bubbles worked their way out and screw in the plug.
