I'm guessing it will need to be cut down .5-.75" to have clearance for the bulb seal. It looks pretty uniform across the span but will confirm dimensions tonight.
For what it's worth, I was able to measure the clearance for a bulkhead on my 289 kit. I used a point 11" back from the rear of the cockpit as noted in the Breeze instructions. On each side, from top of trunk aluminum to the underside of the fiberglass I have 7 1/2". In the center I have 9 15/16". This would require that approximately 1/4" be trimmed from the top arc of the bulkhead just to stand vertically. Additional clearance will be needed for the bulb seal.
