Comparing the Hopkins 7-way part # HM40950 and Pollak Replacement 7-Pole # PK11893

Question

Question:

Hi, Im trying to compare two 7-pole connectors to see if item # HM40950 will fit my application. I know for a fact that item # PK11893 will fit the factory mounting point on my Audi Q7 but the Hopkins connector HM40950 does not have any measurement dimensions on the item between the mounting holes for me to be able to tell if it will be a fit. Can you please help. Thanks.

I'd go with the part # HM40950 though as it has a 4-way connector below the 7-way.
