Default PZL compass question

When I bought my glider a year ago there was a PZL Warszawa ll compass
that came with it but was not installed. Looking at it I found that
ther was no fluid in the unit. Looks like a nice little so I thought
I'd refill it an mount it. The problem is that I dodn't know what
type of fluid to use. The PZL website states that it uses "ligroin"
but don't have a clue where to find any of that stuff. Any ideas?
Thanks

Have a look at this earlier thread:
http://groups.google.com/group/rec.a...1b58a486d938f8

I had one of these that cracked (possibly from over-tightening
the mounting ring). I ground out the crack and epoxied it,
was careful not to overtighten and leave a bubble, and no
further problems.

Hope this helps,
Best Regards, Dave "YO electric"

PS: "YO electric" has an Airpath mounted in a recess
in the top of the instrument cover - easy to read and
none of these problems...
