Chine angle

Does anyone know what the chine angle is and how to check to see if it's good?

Page 8 of the attached document contains a good picture of the chine angle which is located in the left and right main landing gear wheel wells. As far as checking it the 1C-130A-3 should cover any limitations as far as cracks and corrosion.

The chine angle is at WL 147~ and runs from FS 245 to FS 737. Like Mike said it is where the belly and fuselage skin come together. The chine angle is a 3 leg extrusion where the chine plate, fuselage skin, belly skin, vertical beams, and cargo floor bulkheads attach to. It is or similar to the LS 3868 extrusion.
