I wasn't able to find any reference to your oil cap or dimensions so what you'll need to do is measure the diameter of your cap so that we can determine if there's a threaded Bearing Buddy that would work. For example, we have the part # BB2080T-SS for if your hub bore is 2.08 inch in diameter, part # BB1980T-SS for 1.98 inch, or part # BB2441T-SS for a bore of 2.441 inch.
