    I am passed that point by now , plus that post is already old enough you won't be able to find those cheap aluminum compasses . I have found 2 originals , 1 in the US where I am off a heater I can sacrifice the glass from , and waiting on a price and shipping for the other

    I'm not in the UK , I'm can't even view it from the US probably because it doesn't ship to my location . I had that issue getting decals from GB

    That's odd - Amazon US has them and even ships to the UK within a week for just a few dollars. We don't impose a tarriff on them, either:-

    Seen that at the bottom of the screenshot , "Can not be dispatched to my location " . I always thought Amazon searched worldwide but I've had that problem twice lately with eBay items , Hong Kong basically told me tariffs imposed by the US were approx 875% so HK retaliated by not allowing anything other than letter / document type mail to be shipped to the US , no goods or products . The 2nd was the only seller / only place that had FL6 waterslide decals in Great Britain , I could add to my cart and tried to checkout/pay 3-4 times last month, just say item couldn't be shipped to my address , sent seller 2 messages and never got a reply , tried again maybe 5 days ago , payment went through , and received tracking info so I'm not sure what changed . Not a big deal now , I found a Tilley heater in the US with the face glass cracked that I could sacrifice for parts , I just haven't found a way to delete some of my posts that aren't relevant anymore

    You can't do that because it would damage the coherence of the thread...

    Tedious and time consuming but was still a fun challenge
