Hi! Mark/All/ Alfred/Rob
Just like to say I didn't say it would COMPLETELY shield magnetism but a lot
more so than the aluminium that I used . Also indicated by being able to gap
the ignition coils to their magnets by a 0.010" piece of stainless shim
material when it is near impossible to do the job with a normal set of steel
feeler gauges.

Although most (but not all) stainless is not magnetic (i.e. not attracted to
a magnet), it is not a good shield against magnetic interference. This can
be seen by placing a magnet behind a non-magnetic sheet of stainless and
holding some magnetic steel against the magnet on the other side.
Cheers,
Mark.
