I have these measuring 2" hole to hole installation. Could I use the 2-1/16? Is there that much of a difference? Would the installation not be able to be matched up?

Good morning! Thank you for posting in our discussion board. I think you may be able to fit it in, actually. If it's still a little off, you may be able to use a rat-tail file to make the hole a little larger. Also make sure that, when measuring your hole distance, you are doing so from center-of-hole to center-of-hole.
