Think I've got it, there are two braeover angles

The "included" angle measures the angle inside the ramp; the "exluded" angle measures the combined angles outside the ramp to the horizontal.

Using the excluded method would give the H2 about 12.7" underbody clearance, which sounds about right. </div></BLOCKQUOTE>You guys are confusing the hell out of me.

I think they determine the breakover by determining the wheelbase, finding the point in the wheelbase that is exactly halfway on the chassis, measure that obtuse angle from that midway point to each wheel and then subtract that from 180 degrees. Or something along those lines. Maybe that's what you said Phil.
