Overall Outside Width of Dexter DX7.5 Actuator
Question:
I am looking for the measurements of the Dexter DX7.5 -N-Go Brake Actuator - Drum Brakes - 2inch Ball - Zinc Plated - 7,500 lbs Item # 099-175-00. Particularly I need to know the specific outside dimension between the rear plates where the bolts pass through that slide over the trailer post. The frame on our Jayco 1207 does not have an external post but rather the actuator has to slide through the A-frame and is then bolted onto post-type plates internal of that. If it is larger than 3 1/2 inches it will not be able to slide through the A-frame. Thank you for any assistance you can offer.
