"C" Channel or Tubular?

According to the instructions there are two ways to install the frame brackets, and this depends on whether the trailer "A" frame is "C" channel or Tubular.
What would a 28ft Argosy be please?
I ask because the seller is not in a position to tell me and I am not able to get to it and check.

Cheers

Bex

A frame material

My 26' Argosy has a "C" channel A frame and it is a 1974. Are you thinking of tow hitch or equalizer brackets that affix to the A frame? Anyway I believe all Argosys had a "C" channel A frame.

it's to install the sway control brackets. Either self tapping or a nut/bolt is required based on what the A frame is. I have none in the package (even though it's new) and wanted to know because the 1/2 inch self taps are becoming difficult to find. Your info confirms that I need to keep looking.

Thanks!
