46 inches...but mine is a M-38 frame and bumper. I don't know whether that makes a difference.

I guess it doesn't.  My '46 is also 46" wide.

I had to get a replacement, I believe from Walcks. It was a heavier gauge and fit perfectly. Be aware, if the bumper is significantly bent, the frame horns and spring U shackles deserve close examination. They may all be bent. Don't ask how I know that.

The frame was bent in 1/4" along with the passenger side frame rail being slightly twisted. All good now!  Passenger side shackle hanger bracket was broken as well. I put  new NOS spring hangers on and have new shackles as well. 
I hope to update my build page soon  which will show what's been going on with my 2A.
