I apologize for diggin up an old old thread, but i didn't find any other threads on the GT2 wing angle...

Does anyone know a way to determine where the GT2 wing should be locked to get the factory GT2 wing angle? The GT2 lid I have needed to be painted and in the process it was taken apart. Now I'm left to my own devices to figure out where to set this angle.

Any help? I know it's a difference of like +/-5 degrees, but I tend to OCD about stuff like that...I just want the 'official' GT2 angle lol.

Thanks in advance!

subscribed. Good info here. Does anyone know which "gt2" replicas retain this adjustability?

MA Shaw does not. It can still be adjusted by removing the 4 nuts inside the intake ports. The wing will then separate from the deck lid. I took some 10/32 washers (I think that was the size) and placed them over the 6mm studs that are glassed into the wing. Gave me a rise at the rear of about 0.300", as best I remember. The washers remain hidden under the shrouding. Ran it that way most of last year with no problems. Never did calculate the angle of attack I ended up with, nor did I measure the stock angle. I just knew I wanted as much downforce as the wing would safely provide. With the length of the studs (1 was shorter than the others) I was not comfortable shimming any more than that.

Misha's replica retains this adjustability. I believe the AWE does as well.

back to my original question though...I was just hoping someone with experience with the GT2 wing would know an easy way to set the factory wing angle. I was really hoping it was something simple like "tilt it as far back as the joint will go" or "halfway between all the way forward and all the way back" haha. Anyone? GT2 guys?
