Question about locating the compass

I got finally ready the new instrument panel for my Jantar Std 3. It can be viewed here: http://album.ee/?o=300002177&uilang=1&custom=0& ikey=43fbb48f1

The problem: I did read the manual of the new vario Westerboer WV 831 (which was in german) after I installed the instruments. So I found out, that the location of the compass is wrong. Because the manual suggests to install the compass further than 100 mm away sideways from the circular instruments (those two on top of the panel). And not in the same level with the speaker of the main instrument (in the middle of the panel).

The question: Is there any method available to shield the magnetic fields of the circular vario instruments from the compass? Or do I have to remove the compass from the current position, install it on the capote of the panel and fill the hole with the bank&turn indicator which one I didn't plan to use.

In Jantar Standard 3, the compass is just sticked to the canopy slightly forward from the 'over the panel' position. That's why there's no space provided in the panel.

That was not the porblem, Janusz

Thnx anyhow.

I found out, that I have to remove the compass from the current position and place it to the capote. The compass was facing only to the neighbouring instrument. So, ther's no talk about decilnation. It was simply fixed that way.

Thanx for help, Henryk

I installed the instruments. So I compass further than 100 mm away with the speaker of the main instruments from the compass? Or do fill the hole with the bank&turn
