Typically this item will fit on a trailers cross member that is 3 inch x 3 inch square tube. The hole spacing center hole to center hole measures 3 5/8 inch.  You will need to use a u-bolt that is 1/2 inch diameter and 3 inch wide on the inside. This hat bracket is used to clamp front v-guides or bunk boards that use 2 inch x 2 inch square tubing for their support.
