Plan is to take off the bracket, photo it from several angles and pshop the dimensions on the pics for you.
If tomorrow isn't soon enough someone else needs to step up.

Thanks so much
*edit* Noizemaker: Quite a few of the 05-06 cars had the factory hardtop warp... causing a bulge in the top. You'll get some wind noise from the top not sealing (even if the top doesn't look that warped). Some owners report that it's so bad that they were pulling down on the top with their hands to try to quiet it down. Lotus fixed the problem in later cars (07+) with the bracket in my picture above. They (Lotus) claims it's not an issue in the earlier cars
but it obviously was since a lot of people report problems here. It was also a big enough problem to cause the engineers to add the bracket as OEM equipment for the later cars.
You can buy the OEM bracket from Lotus for ~$300 without any hardware. I'm creating an aftermarket solution for much less and it'll include the hardware needed to install it.
