Does Bearing Buddy Threaded Bearing Protectors # BB2080T-SS Fit Reliable Oil Bath Hubs

Question

Question:

The threads on my removed Reliable plastic cap seem to be course threads. Will the threads of the 2080T match? Or are the threads very fine like the ones on the 1980T that is pictured under that question/answer? Thanks,

Bearing Buddy does specify that the Bearing Buddy Threaded Bearing Protectors, part # BB2080T-SS, will fit the Reliable oil bath unit that has a 2.080 hub bore size and is on many of the EZ Loader trailers.
