Clinotmeters

For alignment angles on my big sat dish I bought one from the hardware store,cost about $30 I think.

I bought mine from prospectors.com.au for $240 for last years big trip.

Never had to use it unfortunately, however have it in my kit.

Cheers

Do you need to read side to side angle or pitch angle?
If you only need side to side ARK RC at 24 Stanley ST Collingwood in Melbourne have neat little battery powered digital angle gauges. 50mm x 35mm x 19.
Once set up for level as per instructions you can use them to read side lean angle. $39 You could battery wire them but regulate the volts to 3v via ic regulator.
These little beauties can be used to set up front ends by just sitting it on known machined surfaces of your front end to measure caster and camber settings. Press hold and remove to read. Just as good as the most expensive stuff at the wheel aligners.

Hope this info helps

I downloaded a free android Clinometer app onto to phone.
Seems to be fairly accurate and I use it regularly.
Gotta love the free apps.

Little Wes has one on the dash of his 80 something Rocky as a genuine fitting.

There is one in my garage if you want it !! I am in Sydney ...!

Do you mean an "inclinometer"? The problem with most of them is that they give you a reading a few seconds after you have reached an angle.

The most up to date and accurate are the simple type you hang from the mirror.
When they have reached an extreme angle there are better things to be doing than watching a gauge.

A lot of 4wds had them fitted as standard in the 80s but they seem to have been deleted from most 4wds these days.

I bought one off ebay years ago.

As others have said if your hanging off your seatbelt there's more on your mind then what angle you're at.

The older Pajero's had them as well.

Any one want mine in the garage ..before the missus puts it in the recycling bin ?

you can still buy many types in most caravan/marine shops including the old jeep two gauge one www.camec.com.au & www.whitworths.com.au are just some
