I was in exactly the same boat.  I located mine at Speedway Motors.  It measures 1.786 and is $5.99 for a pair.  I used the dust cap installation tool sold by Rick Ehrenberg for a no scratch/dent install.  This cap does not look 100% correct but is very close.  No modifications are needed to fit.  Here is the link:

Thanks for the link. They're a tough part to find. Ordering soon.

Speaking of Rich Ehrenberg, how about the caps he sells?  Not cheap though.

They look a taller than the originals so not sure.

Well I had to try them for myself!  I'll post dimensions shortly but thought I'd also share the cool install tool I picked up as well.  Both from Rick Ehrenberg's eBay store.

Here's the dimensions of these.  Supposedly NOS but that can be in the eye of the seller. ;)

@wanderlustin have you installed them yet? If so, how did they fit?
