Question:

I have an older trailer with surge brakes and need to replace the insert that goes in the actuator. It has a 2 5/16 ball and I was looking at one on your website code t1608400317 and it looks right but I just want to make sure its not to wide to slide in. My trailer has a that is 2 3/8 in wide. I dont know the brand or model of the trailer. Thanks

Easiest way to tell will be to check out the product pictures of the # T2477600 which is a Model 10 actuator like what the part # T1608400317 is designed to fit. Most actuators are about the same dimensions as they are all designed to fit 3 inch channel so by dimension would not give you the best results.
