Grease Cap Solution for Trailer Hub with Hub Bore of 1.98 inch

Question

Question:

I need a simple grease cap 1.988inch OD for a custom spindle application subject to harsh chemical wash down. I believe the video suggests that the RG04-020 is Zinc Plated. Is there a similar model in Stainless steel? I notice some of the bearing buddies are stainless but I dont necessarily need that as well be using a autolube system through the spindle. Thanks
