Note how most people are giving you diameters (measuring the two holes farthest apart). Perhaps those stating a radius are just mis-speaking. But a 3 inch radius is a 6 inch diameter for the same circle.

So I propose always dividing your diameters by two and reporting radiuses! To those who hear "diameter" in their mind you'll seem twice as accurate.
