Hey woody thanks man will look at that now, is that the hidden type so I can lay a row of bricks on top then the roof top plate?
I added a pic for ref...new door frame on left and new timers 4x2 to join to other side down to stone wall. Not a big roof so not really big weight.
Would that be a 1200mm for a door frame?

If I used a concrete lintel I would needs less stone for last row as lintel would be last row then top plate tho that might look crap.

Yrs its hidden, and 1200 will do a frame size up to 1m wide. But check that the upstand on the back is suitable for the space you have up to the underside of the joists.
