I'd like to get yours to make sure the new pair I purchased for some reason measured incorrectly.

I can Paypal u asap for the postage.
No problem sending them but you have a caliper and so do I. I think it is worth the time to accurately measure the hub bore? No?

Good to know - Hard time finding 2.44" Hub protective caps.

I once had a boat trailer with bearing buddies and I put a pair of baby moon hub caps on it that had holes in the center for the bearing buddies. They looked great and were promptly stolen.

I could see an old boat trailer having some holes in Baby moons but not an Airstream.
