I agree with DJ. I would get a second opinion or ask to see the regs that require those instruments. In Plane&Pilot or Kitplane magazine, theres a sections called "Ask a DAR" and, one month, they addressed your issue specifically. I remember them citing the regulation as "You need a compass that indicates magnetic north. It doesn't need to be a wet compass". Dave R.
