Default Help needed - screen rake measurements for hardtop

Next week sees me finally getting into the workshop to play with the DB Hardtop and start looking at how to best extend it for my car and also cater for other Cobra kits when the mould is taken.

We know it needs lengthening by about 70mm for a Harrison kit. While there are other vital measurements to consider, I'm particularly interested in the range of hardtop "lengths" that we may need to cater for.

This is where I need your help. Eg, how long is yours?

The diagram below from Dave at DB Replicas shows the distance from the hardtop opening behind the door to two points on the windscreen when the DB hardtop is fitted to one of his cars.



For those who can spare the time, could you please measure the upper/lower distance and let me know which kit you have? It's also good to know if you have a lengthened body as is common with a few Harrisons, etc.

Here's an actual photo in case the diagram is unclear.



Thanks in advance

Paul
