51 headliner bracket

Hello all. The headliner bracket in the center of my roof is missing. I am going to make one but I need to know how far down from the roof it hangs to where the headliner will attach. If someone could measure that for me I would be truly grateful. Thanks and Cheers.

It's just a piece of body weight sheet metal 1" wide. Simple inverted top hat. Down from the ceiling 1 1/2", width where it supports the liner 1 1/8", feet in contact with roof 3/4"
It has a small hole (maybe 1/8") for one of the roof liner/interior trim screws.
