Default Cosworth suspension setting units !!

Fitted adjustable rear beam over winter and will soon be taking the car for wheel alignment check and adjust.
But i have a question on the TOE setting. These seem to be quoted for the cossies in mm. What is this in Degrees Minutes (o ') ??

thanks

e.g.
2mm total toe in (1mm each), what would this be in positive degrees each wheel toe.

Give a man a fish and you feed him for a day

http://wiki.seloc.org/a/Geo_Setups

Converting from mm to degrees:

1. Multiply rim diameter in inches by 25.4 to get rim diameter in mm.
2. Multiply the result by PI to get the circumference.
3. Divide the result by 360 to get mm per degree.
4. Divide the toe mm by the mm/degree result to get toe in decimal degrees

What do you think of your beam so far Dave?
