Hey Stan, thanks for the measurements. We've got two options for Bearing Buddy's that fit a 1.965 hub bore. The only difference in the two is the finish. I have listed them below:
Chrome Plated - Bearing Buddy Bearing Protectors item # BB1968
Stainless Steel - Bearing Buddy Bearing Protectors item # BB1968SS
If you have any additional questions, go ahead and throw them into the comment box below and I'll be happy to answer them.
