Okay, its been "MANY" years since I've taken any math in school and I admit I've forgot more than I now know, sooooooooooooooo, someone help me out here and tell me "How do I figure my Windshield Angle?????
/l / l / l / l /__ l I have the three measurements shown above, which are 8.75 for bottom leg, 12.25 for back straight leg, and 15.25 for the angle that would be the windshield. Anyone remember how to do this? |
Yes, Trig! (trigonometry)
What do you mean, "three measurements shown above." I see no measurements... It seems as though you are describing a triangle... is this so? |
Yes, basically a triangle, tried to draw out the triangle but it didn't work....the three measurements were at the bottom of the post. It looks like I'm somewhere around 51 degrees, not good :eek:
|
Well... can't tell from your description, but if the 12.25 is coming down from the top, and the 8.75 is going back from the the front to where the 12.25 lands, then you are more like 54.5 degrees. Do the inverse tan function of (12.25/8.25) on your calculator... assuming a right triangle (one angle is 90 degrees). If not, try to remeasure with 90 degrees between the down leg and the back leg, and we'll recalculate it...

Well, I used a electronic prop protractor and it shows 51.2 degrees. I'm gonna have to work on it this weekend and see if I can get it closer to the 45 degrees.**)**)**)

Well Earl, what is the latest on your windshield and Cobra? Hope that you got it all figured out and are well on your way to finishing it.
Ron :) |
Took a break this past weekend, back on it this coming weekend......we shall see**)**)**)

Earl,
I would think that you would have just a little adjustment built in for the windshield mounting. On mine I could raise it just a little and change the angle just a little very easily. I hope that yours comes out like you want it without to much of a fight. Ron :eek: |
Hey Earl,
What is the lastest on the Cobra and windshield fitting? Hope that you got it all figured out. Ron |
Hey Earl,
Have you been making any more progress on the Cobra? Let us know how it is coming along. Ron |
