You may not be aware of the illustrations that can be found on the Archive web site. The roof structure of the RP can be found here:

If you look at 'Detail C' you will see that the roof covering goes round the wooden roof frame, including the metal strip on the top of the frame, which is then dropped into place and screwed in place by means of the metal rail underneth that pulls it all down into a bed of mastic.
I'm not sure how well I have described that but the job you are about to undertake, may be a little more invasive than you imagined.
