Just a shot but looking at a couple of sites 4 1/2" is what you most likely have. Check your width against these.

Thanks,your right I got an answer from Azusa parts. They said to measure the shoe from end to end metal not including pad material and going up the half from there. So 4 1/2 is what I need.
