Re: Seat angle

I believe the CAV is about 30 degrees.

Re: Seat angle

124 degrees ( or 56 ) depending on which way you measure it. Frank

Re: Seat angle

Paul,

Don't see a replica type in your profile, so the Sabre which I am assuming is the same as the KVA is closer to 60º-62º. I think if you figure between 55º to 60º you will be good what ever the replica you have. With the restriction in the height for seats in a GT40 that range won't give you much variation in the position of the top of the seat back. Don't have my sine/cosine tables handy or I'd work it out for you.

Lynn

Re: Seat angle

Sorry for the data above. CAV is ~ 30 from vertical and thus 60 from horizontal.
