I went out to the warehouse to take measurements of the Replacement Head Assembly for Husky Silver Series 16K 5th Wheel Trailer Hitch # HT31326 for you. I have attached a photo showing these mounting bracket measurements for you.

From outside to outside of the mounting brackets measures 24-1/2 inches. From inside to inside of the brackets measures 17-1/2 inches. The inside spacing between the brackets that will slide down onto the legs measures 3 inches. The height of the bracket is 6-1/2 inches.

The hole diameter is 0.54 inches. From center to center vertical spacing of the holes is 1.25 inches. From center to center horizontal spacing is 5.11 inches.

This head is designed as a replacement for the Husky Silver Series 16K 5th wheel trailer hitches, like # HT31326-31314. If you would like to let me know which 5th wheel hitch you have, I will be happy to see if we have the correct replacement head for your hitch.
