Thanks billogna, it appears we're in the same boat. Maybe I should pitch in for that angle device, lol. I was going to get, say, a 3 degree shim, but didn't want to find out I needed a 5 and spend more $$$ buying another pair. Also, I was always kinda confused as to exactly how to measure. I had access to one at one time, but never measured.
I think we both just want to be fairly accurate and reduce u-joint wear and vibration. Thanks for the pic and description! Let me know if you buy the device and get good measurements.
