Held too closely it will point to any iron/steel part magnetized

We've done the compass walkaround in great detail, and as best we can
tell, the remaining problem is close to the firewall (the engine mount
was already degaussed in Halifax while the engine was being
overhauled), though there are one or two other minor hotspots. A
proper meter (I'm not sure whether it's a "gauss meter" or a "flux
meter") will be arriving at the shop tomorrow, and that should let us
pinpoint the problem more closely.


All the best,
