Model A Frame Rail - Angle

I've been looking around, does anyone know what the actual angle in degrees is for the front frame rail section on a Model A? I can find the dimensions and such, but with no exact dimensions in relation to each other, ie holes at the center of the frame rail, I can't calculate the actual angle.

With the motor and trans still in my car I can't measure it properly with my available tools... Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks,

Sorry should have explained better, the angle of the front frame section in relation to the centre line of the frame. I want to make a Model A style flange for wellding to an F1 steering box, couldn't find what I was looking for specifically. Most of the flanges I've seen are just made 1/16" or so larger then the turned down shaft on the F1 box to allow for the angle of the frame. Since I have access to a full machine shop, I thought I would try and make the flange a lot tighter, and bore the hole at the correct angle through the new flange.

But now that I am thinking more clearly and had a coffee, I could just use an protractor from the center crossmember and from the front crossmember just to make sure they are similar and run from there....

Thanks guys, sometime it take me a bit to wake up.
 
Somebody (maybe speedway or honest charley) makes one I think. Or try Tardel's book or try on the HAMB. Paul in CT
