The hatch is installed 1 5/8" down from the cabin top. It is 8" tall x 15" wide. Since the flanges of the hatch are flat there is a wood wedge underneath to conform to the curve of the doghouse. You could probably get a similarly sized hatch of better quality easier than finding the original production quality hatch. The vent is a 3" cowl vent in a standard 3" deck plate. Placement is about 12" forward of doghouse/deck joint and looks to be added as an aftermarket item. Should be available anywhere but a solar battery powered vent might be better.
