This tension hoop arrived in only 3 days and is the correct size but actually heavier than my original. It fits perfectly with no real issues. My only minor complaints is there was a very tiny nick in the steel which was easily concealed under the tail piece. Looked to be in the steel and not the chrome. The other is it had a sticker on it that was a real pain to remove the adhesive. Took about 20 minutes using cleaner, water and '0000' steel wool. That said especially for the price and overall quality this is a very nice hoop. The chrome is quite good as well. Would highly recommend especially if doing a restoration. Looks just like the original , fits great and really help your wallet! Pick On!!! Cheers Jerry Review: Tension hoop sized right - There’s a problem with the listing for this item… The dimensions shown in the tension hoop’s photo gallery don’t match the part’s diameter listed in the item’s title, or the actual part (as measured). Here are the careful measurements from the tension hoop I received: 11.437 (290.5 mm) OD - tape measure 11.062 (281.0 mm) ID - tape measure .388 (9.8 mm) high - digital caliper These dimensions were a perfect fit for the non-namebrand banjo I was restoring. The plating is rich and high quality (see pics). There are two dots inside the hoop on one side and one 180 degrees around the hoop to the other side. I assumed these indicate the neck and tail stock positions. If these dimensions match up with what you need in a tension hoop for your banjo, you’ll be in good shape!
