Expert Reply:
The Bearing Buddy Bearing Protectors- Chrome Plated # BB1980A or Stainless Steel # BB1980A-SS will fit your hubs. The difference of 7/1000ths of an inch is so close that some digital calipers don't even read it. These drive in protectors will work just fine as they will have an ever so slight taper for that drive-in installation.
