The plastic caps for the Bearing Buddy bearing protectors that you are looking for are the Bearing Buddy Bras. We carry three different bras, # BB17B, # BB19B and # BB23B that fit different ranges of Bearing Buddy sizes. You should choose the Bearing Buddy bra that will fit your model bearing buddy. The model numbers that these bras fit are listed on the product page.
If you do not know the model of your Bearing Buddy, then you can measure the bore hole diameter on your hub with a precise measuring tool like a dial caliper and use that measurement to determine what size Bearing Buddy you have. The model number of each Bearing Buddy indicates what size hole they fit. For example the Model 1980 Bearing Buddy fits a 1.980 inch diameter hole.
If you have a Bearing Buddy Grease Cap, # BB1980T-SS, that you referenced, then you will want the Bearing Buddy Bra, # BB19B. The replacement Bearing Buddy bras includes two caps.
