Replacing the header on my 160B. I hope. in both corners the gaps seem large,

it looks like an original header with some water damage. the top was replaced a while back by PO. Did Henry do it this way? the entire seam was covered by hidem. thanks,

the gap is 5/16 to 3/8 inch, and for all the Kiwi's and Brits 13mm.

the gap appears about right and gets covered by orig. metal or aluminum (replacement) moulding available from the vendors, not hidem welt.

it looks to me your cover is out to fare. it is either not fitting correctly on the header or the header need some shaving down. take another picture from the side showing the lower part of the header cover where it meets the post. the bottom front edge should be flush to the post. or your windshield will not fit or seal on the top of the sides.
