Inspection plates

[gss036]

I just replaced the center deck fuel access plate with a viking. I had to replace the whole assemble because the 8" round snap in was just a bit different, but the screw holes all lined up for the outer ring, so it turned out great. I bought directly from Viking. They said they normally do not like to do that but I cried a sob story because there was no dealer in my area and they accomidated me. Good service and prompt shipping.
I need to replace the one in my outboard engine well since it is cracked in 3 places, but don't know what to go with.
I did find the RaBud Inc site in Dania , Fla. they list a 7"x11". My current plate is from Ray Bud, I assume the same, but it measures OD 101/2" X 14 1/8"/ ID of pry up plate is 71/2" X 11 1/2". I wonder if this would be same? I don't have any room to do any cutting on the 71/2 width. Has Anyone replaced this inspection plate?
