Notice that the AHRS units are inclined at the same angle as the panel. You can also see the brass hardware using jam nuts to lock the hardware and a dab of indicating lacquer on each. The bracket is attached to the longerons with SS hardware. Although the SS hardware is slightly magnetic as indicated by testing with a permanent magnet they don't appear to affect the indication or operation of the AHRS units.
