Welcome to the forum!!

New sailboat? To determine the wing keel width suggest an internet search on "Hunter 26.5 wing keel images" then scale the wing's dimension using its 1.1-meter draft Hunter 26.5 — Sailboat Guide as a dimensional guide in a spreadsheet. Curious why do you ask?

Can you take measurements or scan the dimensions when you haul out for a survey?

Mars metals in Canada fabricated your keel. Suggest that you call and ask them. Otherwise, I suggest reaching out with yours question in hunter small boats.
However, you want the center of the keel, not the wings, on the keel tray if memory serves me correct for the weight of the boat to sit on the keel tray

make sure the keel sits on wood to prevent any sliding

The bottom of the Hunter keels are not flat like Catalina keels. If a large amount of weight rests on the hunter wings, the possibility of the wings can bend and/or break off. I replaced a few of as is dealer
