Here's one of those "oops" moments.
I made an angle iron bracket to mount my RCM on top of the longerons behind the baggage compartment of my RV-4. Talked to Dynon factory support and they said that was an excellent location. I fabricated a sheet metal mounting stand to acheive the correct angle relative to the panel mounted unit. Well, when I fabricated the mounting stand I used brass screws to attach the module, then (and here's the oops ) I attached the mounting stand to the angle iron with blind rivets that have ferrous stems.
Anyone care to speculate if I should drill those bad boys out and replace with non ferrous parts, or is that such a small amount of steel it won't interfere?
