List,
I located my remote compass behind the baggage compartment passenger side after
having a fit with magnetized rudder cables.
I could push the rudder petals and get a 200 deg error on the compass sitting still.
A friend and AI suggested we get an inexpensive compass from Wally world
and move it gently around the mounting area. If there is any interference it
will swing the needle on the compass. This was the best location we could find.
I also mounted my OA temp on the access panel at the fuel tank connectors. I just
let it hang while inspecting during "conditionals"

Bobby,
Note that it is possible to de-magnitize the cables. I also had
some issue with cables but I used a old tape head demagnitizer and went
over all the cables. This reduced the effect to almost un-measurable.
The demagnetizer I used was home made, they used to be a RadioShack
item. These seem to be still on EBAY see
