In switching on the power, the wet compass swung 40 degrees.  The wet
compass is located in the middle of the glare shield on our IVP.

The only solution that I came up with is a 6" x 6" mu metal sheet that
was placed under the glare shield and reduced the swing to 2-3 degrees
when the power is turned on.  I have not taken the airplane to a
compass rose to swing it yet.

Does anyone know if this is an acceptable solution?  Is this going to
cause some other problems when flying starts next month?  Note:  mu
metal is usually used to protect sensitive electronics from outside
electrical and magnetic interference.
