Mike,

check the online catalog of Aircraft Spruce:

They have the correct fluid but only gaskets sets for Airpass
compasses.

Have a look at this earlier thread:

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...
