A-pillar angle needed.

[joe]

Can we get a consensus on what the angle of the A-pillar should be. I’m in the process of setting the spider on my AP build and think this could help me get in the ballpark. Then doors can be adjusted.

I dont think measuring the angle will give you much as it is slightly curved. Try to center it as good as possible and trialfit front and rear clam. Then start moving stuff around to get the wheelarches centered and clearance to tires evenly distributed. Alignment of bodywork has been discussed a few times before so if you search a bit you will find alot of good input.

I’ve done all of that, and I have found that as the front corners of the spider move up and down, it changes the angle of the A-pillars.

Fit the spider and doors to work together nice, then test fit the window to be sure. Clams are easy.
