We do have a grease caps that are smaller than those with a 1.988 outer diameter like the Grease Cap # F001518. In order to know the correct fit for certain you will need to use a digital caliper and take a measurement, but I'll go ahead and list out the smallest size grease caps we offer so you can try and match up the correct size.

- 1.957" Outer Diameter: Grease Cap # TRAG-DC-196

- 1.943" Outer Diameter: Fulton Grease Cap # F001524
