Short anser ... 2.25 ID
Long answer ... RE used to use 2.625 tubing that is .188 wall .... basically .. it's the same housing for their Superflex joints. They would just press it right in. 2.625 - .188 - .188 = 2.249
Super Complex answer ... I can find you the dimensions of the custom cradle I had made. I machined for a 1:1 fit on most of the bushing and where the step is ... I went for a *light* interference fit. Pics of it are in the Tech Snob thread.
