Default Upper Cowl Drip Rail

I need some pics of this piece, but on an unmodified car, for reference. Preferably one with the wiper motor still installed so I can see how much of the strip covers it. Some measurements of the width of the strip in the center above the wiper motor would be of great help. I need to trim the width of this piece down, and would like to make it look as close to original as possible.

Hi J,
The horizontal dimension of the gutter is 1 1/4" and widens in the center to 1 3/4".
In the center, the 'flare' for the wider area is 9" at it's base and 8" when it's fully 1 3/4" wide.
The dimensions don't include the raised lip at the front side of the gutter or the lip that turns down on the rear side of the gutter.
If you need more just ask.
Regards,
Alan
