You cannot legally adjust the compass unless you belong to Ron

This is, unfortunately, true. Some FSDO's will tell you that even your
A&P/IA can't do it.

You can't make up a new official compass card.


This one is more controversial. I've heard your view. I've also heard
some folks whom I would consider very knowledgable say that you can.
[Barry Schiff has a section of a WWoF tape showing how.] Have you ever
seen anything official (and John Lynch doesn't count G), either way?

Yes, it's not listed in 43.13, but then since you aren't repairing
anything, it wouldn't need to be.
