'30 Header question. Not letting visor fit.

[sandollar]

Hi. Sandollar here. Been away for some time.

Installed header on my '30 coupe. But when installing sun visor cannot get the 2 screw holes on post to line up.
The header sticks about 1/8" above header sheet metal cover.

It looks like I might need to shave that 1/8" off where header is proud. Am I correct? Should the top of the header be even with the top of the header sheet metal cover?
The Andrews book Vol. II ( 3-87) does not address this.
Thanks in advance for any help given.

Wait until you try to install the windshield frame and you find the bottom of the frame hits the gas cap.

Unfortunately your situation is because your front roof rail (A-47235-B) is likely made incorrectly. Since I have not purchased a commercially made front rail in some time, I can't really help you with the exact location of the issue(s) with yours. I have given you the correct part number where you can order a print from Benson as soon as they re-open and make the necessary corrections to yours.
