Does anyone have an OEM windshield channel that they would be willing to measure for me?

I don't understand, you know any number of parts hoarders on this forum probably have several of them sitting on a shelf.

I am not 100% sure if my channel is OEM but I can measure it this afternoon. I also have the real steel channel that I can measure as a back up if that would help.

The first is OEM. My FJ40 is a 1965, I did a little research and it looks like Pre 9/67, with the dual wiper arms, this is the FST channel. It can also work on 1/75 and later due to the wiper being moved to the bottom. Credit to @Living in the Past for that tidbit of knowledge.
Here is the Real steel channel.
Note: all measurements taken from outside dimensions.

The ends are also cropped on both the OEM and the Real steel channels:
I just took pictures of the real steel channel for now. the OEM is similar.

There is a hole in the domestic market for these. I bought one recently through member @RevISK who imports parts from South America, though I have not yet put it to good use.
