Well, I 'was' sure, until you asked.

And, I am measuring from the outside to the outside (I had no idea HOW
they measure the stuff as all I want is a part that fits).

I'm not at that location right now so I can't double check; but I did a
rough measurement with my hands and then went to Home Depot and bought 2
inch replacement parts.

What is the 'normal' diameter of 1960's era kitchen sink drain pipe?
