31 Tudor Header Fitting
 

Does anyone have a photo they can share the shows the proper fitment of the right and left roof rails to the header? I am using Les Andrew's book as a guideline but no good drawings show the side angle and I just want to confirm what is correct.

Thank you!

I know this isn't exactly what you need, but am replacing the top on our 30 Tudor, same as 31 Tudor. First photo is right side, second photo is the left side. Pretty sure this car has never been apart.
Perhaps someone may have photos with the sheet metal removed?

Thanks for the photos Mike, however, my main question is, does the fitment in the photos look correct or do I need to sand/shave the wood to better fit the contour of the sheet metal that goes over it and where the header meets the left/right wood rails. Les's book says to sand the ends of the left and right rails to fit but I'm interpreting that as fitting it into the header.
