I pulled one of the # 117858 U-Bolt plates out of stock and measured the center to center bolt hole spacing for you.

From the center of one bolt hole to the next, from side to side, the measuremsnt is 2-5/8 inches. From center to center front to back the measurement is 3-1/4 inches.

I posted a photo that I added all of the dimensions to for you to review.

Answer 6

The left side is the driver side, right side is passenger side. On a trailer brake assembly like #23-105 the arm that the magnet is on points to the front of the trailer and the magnet always will be on the bottom. I have included a picture that…
