So the tops are made with pipe which is measured inside. When the measure 1" pipe it will be about 1.25" outside, 1.25" pipe is about 1 5/8" outside and 1.5" pipe is just over 1 7/8" outside. If you go online you can find exact outside measurements but this should be able to get you close.

I just added some clamp on rod holders to my 226. It has an after market hardtop. It has 2 sizes of pipe on it . I mounted to the smaller tube which had an outside diameter of 1.315. That is one of the common sizes. I bought new Lee's rod holders on ebay for $100 for 4. The second picture shows the larger size pipe.
