Sometimes I just like spending money

So this morning waiting for the guys to show up so I had help to drop the Tub on the chassis I was on eBay. I been looking for a compass for CHUG for a couple years now and nothing really fit my requirements or looked like I wanted. I of course wanted a 2" D in dash style but the only ones that were adjustable and therefore worth a sh*t were aircraft. AND VERY EXPENSIVE.

then a week or so ago a guy on one of the Hot Rod Facebook pages I am on was showing off this HULL Marine/Auto compass with internal beacon light. He bought one and then painted it to match his Hot Rod. SO I started looking at those.

Again the nice ones were very expensive. Then I came across one for $90 that was NIB and complete. Still more then I wanted to pay. This morning I did a new search and found one that was also complete and in the Box but a wee bit shelf worn. Since I would be painting it to match my dash anyway and cause it was a much better price and had a bunch of photos I went for it. SO this critter will now be mounted in the center of my Defroster Duct right above the SUN inclinometer I also got the other day.

I'll most likely still end up on my top but hey they will look cool. LOL

I will attach it to the aluminum defroster duct I will have mounted just below the glass in my windshield. The one floats in a bubble so I don't see how it could come off its pivot. 

What I want to find now is a small barometer so I can adjust my Helicopter altimeter. On the go.

$20 aircraft compass off ebay, refilled it with mineral oil, mounted in an existing hole with a brass plate. Accurate within maybe 10-15 degrees, so really only good if you already know which way you're pointing.
