I found the outside diameter specs for the Orion and the Vixen versions of the ED80 and they are both 116.12 including the paint. I guess yours would be the same. Assuming 1.5mm wall thickness for the dew shield, the inside diameter should be a fraction under 113, allowing for the paint thickness too. But if the wall thickness is 1/16" (1.59mm) then we are looking at something like 112.75mm.
Perhaps we should put out an appeal to find an ED80 owner who also owns a vernier caliper, presuming that you used a ruler or a measuring tape, and plead for an accurate measurement  .

Hi Stefan
Just to make things more confusing........
I have the Saxon branded variant of the ED80 & the ID of the dew shield varies from 113.1mm to 112.6mm on mine.
It has what appears to be a velour-type tape on the other end that presses onto the lens cell.
