Default Glareshield mounted compass?

Understood - which is why I still have an aviation compass in my cockpit - but I refuse to be less safe (reduced visibility) to satisfy some bogus FAR requirement. So I found the smallest certified aircraft compass (the little PZL KI-13A) that I could mount in an inconspicuous location on my panel.

Sometimes, it's the little things in life...
