Might anyone have a Weber hinged cooking grate for the 26.75" grill?

Amazon states that the grill grate is 25.5" in Diameter. I want to use 2 of these in my 85 gallon build but it is 26" inside diameter and I just need to know if it will fit or not. IF someone would be so kind as to measure theirs that would be awesome. All of the 85 gallon build threads i saw are back from 2010 so getting the older parts mentioned in those threads has been a no go. It is part # 63039

If you don't get answered here or want to confirm with a certified barrel cooker pro, send a PM to swamprb (Brian). He's da MAN on these rigs, especially the 85s. Good luck!

Just walked over to the shop and measured mine, the Weber OEM hinged grate for my 26.75" measured at 25.375" (25-3/8") snug (I use Craycort CI's in mine an they measured at a true 25.5") so the 25.5" stated by Amazon sounds like a maximum and should easily fit in a 26" ID drum.
