Economy Compass Seal Kit With Fluid

Great product! Took about 25minutes from start to finish. pay attention to the instructions to get the air bubbles out!

Inexpensive but complete kit and instructions to reseal and fill the compass.

Excellent product. Excellent tech backup

Worked great, just read the instructions first. The original had the seal installed backwards, and I was prepared to install the new one the same way.. until I read the instructions. Great Kit, and great money saver.

Gaskets and diaphragm all fit very well with my compass. The only issue was not enough fluid to completely immerse my compass in the container I had.

Worked perfectly in my c182Q model.

As described promptly shipped

Very good kit, has what you need to reseal & refill compass. One thing I would add though is a new lens which would only increase cost a couple bucks. Often the cause of the leak is a cracked lens.

Good Kit

Thought I would pass along this info learned the hard way: Leaking compass in question was an AirPath C-2300-L4-M23. The seal kit appeared to fit perfectly but upon reassembly was still leaking out the front face glass. On second attempt I learned some AirPath instruments have a symmetrical front face gasket (included in this kit) and some are asymmetrical with the bottom of the seal longer than the top. They are very similar but mine would not seal properly without the kit from AirPath directly that included the asymmetric gasket. Basically if your viewing window is slightly higher than centered on the circular compass face, this kit is unlikely to work. Good luck!

Needs information on regulations (FARs) concerning repairing a major instrument by the owner or by a mechanic / instrument shop, along with log book entries. This might keep some pilots out of trouble.

should have AN-5823-1 compass card ...this one is too small

Good kit

The directions say to submerge the compass into a jar and fill it up past the top of the submerged compass. However, they don’t give you enough fluid to do this. One trick was to use a ziplock bag. Giving three stars for the obvious overlook of the product vs the directions.

The front rubber gasket seal for the glass was too thin and had some leakage. I had to re-use the original one.

Overall a decent kit I suppose. The gasket that seals the glass to the housing was too large and had to be cut down in order to make it fit.

The front rubber seal is too thin and my compass leaks. I purchased 3 separate gasket kits and tried 3 times hoping it would seal but it did not. In all tries, the compass sealed initially but due to motion and vibration over a short time period, it started to leak again. I could not re-use my original gasket that was thicker because it was damaged. How do I get a gasket kit with thicker gaskets that are the same as the ones that were orginially supplied on my compass? Can a sealant or glue be applied to the gasket? The leak is very small so it only drips from the center of the compass on take-off or climb attitudes but it drips on the back of my hand when it is on the throttle. Since the seal is compromised, all of the fluid evaporates over time and I have to start over. The solution to this problem is simple, thicker gaskets.

Kit did not provide enough fluid to eliminate air during assembly. Compass could not be immersed as per instructions. Shipping was very expensive.

dont order this kit with the fluid. Aircraft Spruce shipped it via Purolator and it was $127 shipping because it was dangerous goods. Spruce should have informed me before shipping. I could have got the fluid at the local hardware for ten bucks. Its just turpintine or mineral spirits or varsol or even kerosene (JET A) will work.
