      Best bet is to install the seat and go from there, but if seat not available I would set it at the same angle as the gauges, since it is on the same plane.

      I would think anything from 0* to 10* would be fine. Are you going to leave that flange around the screen?
      Just a thought... You might want to consider putting something to steady your hand on while trying to opperate the touch screen. I only bring this up because it drives me nuts trying to use my GPS when I mount it too far from the dash.

      Same here...my radio has a very sensitive volume button and it is multi-functional(it also adjusts other setting if you push it)...hit a bump while trying to adjust it and who knows what menu I'll end up in....same with my GPS as mentioned above......I vote for hand rest also.
      1970 RS/SS350 139K on the clock:
      89 TPI motor w/ 1pc rear seal coupled to a Viper T56 via Mcleod's modular bellhousing w/ hydraulic T/O bearing from the Viper, 12 bolt rear w/ 3.73 gearing, SC&C upper control arms, factory lowers with Delalums, C5 brakes at all four corners, Front Wheels 17x8's with Sumi 255/40/17 and Rear Wheels 17x9's with Sumi 275/40/17.
      Brief description of the work done so far can be found here: http://www.nastyz28.com/forum/showthread.php?t=112454

      You wouldn't have an Alpine would you? Thats the only complaint I have heard about them. I love mine but it has the one year deal with the knob that can be pushed in so it sits flush, great idea except they brake easy
