Default windshield frame replacement

I need to replace the windshield frame on my 71 vert, obviously it needs to be installed in the exact position of the old one. are the measurments in the AIM manual or do you just measure where the old one was. it would be a little easier if it was T top with a center bar.
looking for any advise or pointers

This is on my list as well. I have T-tops, but I was hoping to hear the tricks too.
