J R Jones reelseat

Hello All
I am planning to build a 50/100 standup GUSA URS60MH-T. I want to put a J R Jones hoodless seat on it. They come in 3 sizes 20-22-24mm. My problem, I ordered a colored blank from Mudhole which set delivery back 3 weeks, now the blank won't be in untill after I leave next week for an extended trip out west, I'll return the first of April and will have about 4 weeks to build rod so really need to order seat before I leave. I talked to the people at J R Jones and they said they work closely with the people at GUSA and they would try to find out what size ID seat I need, they called and said they were trying but no does progress yet. My ??? does anyone have any any idea what size seat I will need to mount it about 14" up from the butt. Butt is .628, tip is sz.10, length is 6' I would really really appreciate any help you all can give. Thanks in advance.

P.S.
Sorry I won't get to Charlotte this year I really enjoyed last year but BW and I should be pretty close to Tucson by then. A week or ten days going out 2 or 3 weeks in AZ. and then a week or ten days getting home. BOY do I LOVE this retirement stuff.

Thanks again
Wayne

Get the 20 mm. All the 20 mm reelseats are larger in ID than your blank's butt that I've used.

Spencer. Thanks for the answer. I guess if I were very smart I should have been able to to figure that out , but my math leaves a lot to be desired. I guess I could have used my calipers and put them on .628 and then changed thier setting to metric and saw that 20mm was larger .... if I were very smart.
