FFH Approach Angle? My Measurement, ~ 12.5 Degrees

[Phil3]

The FFH has a long and low nose, give me concern over dragging the nose on anything. Especially after I had a clear bra installed on it, which wraps under the nose. I tried measuring the approach angle using a digital angle gauge. I did my best to find the line just across the front edge of the front tires and placed a rod from the center of that line out to the front nose of the car. About 12.5 degrees, but I could be off a degree or two, perhaps more. 12.5 degrees is not much. I have a sports car and it is supposedly 11.9, and I am terrified of hitting that nose. Anyone found a spec on approach angle. I looked and came up empty. Just wondering what the value really is.

We've talked about it some but I don't recall any specific numbers mentioned.

Your effort is the most I've seen anyone do.

Let me do some research...I just so happen to work for a company that specializes in these kinda measurements... Let me see if a friend may even have the official specs he can pull up to read in his lab...tomorrow..
