Default UK alignment clarification, Rear Toe settings measured in?

I posted this question on the alignment thread, but it occurred to me that many who already know the answer to my question might not check that thread any longer. The rear toe settings on the Uk alignment post state that the setting is measured in degrees rather than mm or inches. Is this correct?? I have not seen toe settings expressed this way previously and it would be easier to give my alignment guy the settings in measurements that he is used to.

Any help would be appreciated!
Thanks in advance,
Rick

Most of the Hunter alignment machines I have seen are setup to show toe in degrees. Although the software appears to be capable of switching over to linear measurement, the one unit I witnessed only properly supported degrees on the remote display that the tech used while under the car.

I now document what I want in degrees when I take my car in. The .20 toe-in setting is a good one that represents (I think) about 5mm total toe-in when used on both sides.

Thanks for the reply & for the approx relation to mm. I was actually coming back to post that I check some old alignment sheets from my Viper & it did read the toe in degrees, but I was confused by most of the relation of the stock spec's as mm. I was going to ask if anyone knew the relation between the two - so you answered that question before I asked it.

Thanks!!
Rick
