20 degrees on mine - if I was fitting it again I would rake it back more though.

When i fit a screen to mine, i want to try and go for 35 to 40 degrees. Not sure how possible that will be though.





How long can i resist the temptation to drop a V8 in?

I would have said 35 degrees is about right. The screens on strikers are well raked back.

Depends on what screen you have, I would like more rake but I would not fit as height would be restrictive.. Run 20 degrees I think..

After much CAD work, I decided on 30°. It just looked right

Cool, its not for a screen, just the front bar of a rollcage but I wanted it to look right. I guessed at 30 deg and it seems about right. 50 degrees is a little too much for my taste :p
