Fascia and soffit replacement with new eaves protector

[germproof1206]

Hello,

I replaced my old wooden fascia, and soffits with new PVC ones and installed eaves protectors.
The new fascia is 175mm tall, the old one was 160mm.
I removed 2 of the old battens, replaced them and added more on top and below to support the eaves protectors and eaves tiles:

I tried to avoid adding new battens, but whatever I did, the eaves protector ended up being forced on to the fascia.

In this picture you can see the "final" setup with the top 3 battens visible over the felt and eaves protector

I've only done one side, so before I continue mocking this up I hoped I could get some advice here.

Thank you

The danger with that set up is getting the eaves tiles to hook (and stay hooked) onto the batten. We have in the past had to use a thicker batten for the eaves tile, simply because of excessive fascia kick.

So far the eaves tiles have hooked well. The 3rd row of tiles sometimes doesn't hook properly on the original batten(which is thinner), but most of the times is ok.
One of my worries is the gap between the eaves tile and the eaves protector.
