I have a PZL K-13 compass that's leaking. Here's a photo of the
compass: http://www.soarbfss.org/scgi-bin/gal...0/acc.jpg.html This summer, I had the canopy of my ASH-26E open and it focused the sun onto the compass and melted a hole in the front. Luckily it was in the black painted area of the plastic, so I repaired it with some epoxy and then repainted it. I then fully filled it with compass fluid using the fill hole on the back. Unfortunately, it now leaks around the circular "base" of where the the plastic "bubble" is attached to the back. Maybe there's an O-ring seal in there? The back has two holes that I assume are for a spanner wrench and the ring attaching the plastic part to the base also has some notches that I suppose are for a special wrench as well. I've put a pair of "c clip" pliers in the holes on the back and tried to unscrew the outer ring by hand but it's too tight and I'm afraid to put too much pressure on it. Any suggestions either how to take it apart or where in the USA to send it? Thanks -Tom |
