I don't have a caliper on hand here at the house--so the old eyeball tape measure test has it as a tossup between 2 3/8" and 2 1/2"......DAMNIT! Does anyone know the exact answer, or do I have to go buy a caliper? LOL!

Depends on where you are measuring in order to mount something. When in a bent or arch, tubing can become elongated and end up wider in one cross section then its actual round dia.

Measuring in a dead straight section. Where I plan to mount clamps.

Just measure the circumference and divide by Pi?

Excellent idea! Will do this!

Damn I am kinda disappointed I could not come up with this on my own.

Yep, that formula works in an unbent straight section, but not when clamping on a radius.
