Hi, I need an angle checking and cant get to my car... can anyone help out..


I basically need the angle of the alloy window frame relative to the top of the door, and also the angle it cants inward

Cheers

Because of the curvature of the door top, it's quite hard to get an accurate measurement but I made it roughly 52 deg.

The canting angle is even more difficult because the frame curves inwards. It seems to start off at the bottom about 20 deg from vertical but falls away to about 26 deg measured at the top of the post.

Either that, or my post is bent

Hopefully... The first one is going on a race car, but if there is enough interest there will hopefully be some road versions... Designed to use a t350/sag hatch as well :-)
