The Ford Barn

I recently bought a 1930 CCPU "basket case." The cab is in pretty nice condition, but someone removed the two hood rod brackets near the top of the inside firewall.

Here's what I need. Using an imaginary vertical center line on the inside cowl, how far apart are the brackets? I have heard a total of 12" (hole to hole) which seems a little narrow.

Then, I need to know how far down they are from the inside top of the firewall. How about using a board carefully leveled on the top of the fire wall and measuring down to the top of each bracket?

Thank you.
