The Ford Barn

I am currently trying to get my top frame ready to install a new top. I have posted this question before but received no information. I have also contacted Ricky at Classic Wood but he couldn't help. So here is the situation. It looks like the wood section of the front bow (header?) has been replaced by a precious owner. My concern is that the size of this replacement header may not be correct and may be too wide creating too much "overhang" above the windshield which would make fitting the new top difficult. Can anyone help with the correct dimensions for the wood. I think the overall length is ok as the clamps fit to the stanchions ok. It is the vertical and horizontal measurements of the wood that I need. Any help would be appreciated.
