i've roughed up a drawing and dimensioned this block that i will not be installing, thanks to marco's picture. i'll be cutting a shorter, new set.
dan, the old block is the same hight front and back(1-3/16" tall). however, about 7" of the middle section is 1/8" less in hight (1-1/16"tall).
really quite complex (surprisingly) for something so simple.
as for that rivet. was the cowl originally attached to the frame and then the block installed ?
