It looks like you'd be in the ballpark of 138 x 42mm 3.6m F7 H3 Treated Pine Primed LOSP, @calccom21. A V-shaped roof would be considerably more challenging to construct than a flat roof. You might like to have some plans drafted up by a professional.

You'll likely need to cut a slot in the fascia to slip the bracket through, @calccom21. You'll then need to access the ceiling cavity to screw the bracket into the roof timber.

Thanks Trent. Great work and makes it easier reading and seeing the photos. Question. On your earlier post you had the rafter brace. Did you have to cut into the metal facia plate? Do you have any close up photos? Sorry. Just want to confirm and get it right. Last one I did was easy. It was to a wooden facia but this house. OMG give me metal. And I can build anyone a race car. Give me wood and I am screwed. Haha.
Welcome to the Bunnings Workshop community @MadKiwi. It's wonderful to have you join us and great to see you jump into the discussion.
Let me mention @trentp, so they are notified of your questions.
If the metal fascia is hard against a timber member, you could drill through the fascia and install the fascia bracket. However, if there is an air gap between the metal fascia and the timber member, you'd need to remove the fascia and install the fascia brackets directly onto the timber. You'd then cut segments out of the fascia and re-install it over the brackets.
I'm keen to hear Trent's thoughts, and please let me know if you have any questions.
