I got a flaming river one. Cant remeber length..............
One thing to keep in mind is the angle of the column. This will be dependant on engine and steering set up. It may need to be set lower on the fire wall which may mean you need a slightly longer than standard column.
Theres a fair chance you wont be able to use the standard column bracket.
Ill measure mine when I get home.

Rather than start another thread I'll piggy back this one.... I was looking at ididit flaming river etc etc but can't seam to find anything satifying ALL my requirements. The misses wants to retain column shift, the engineer wants collapsible and I want the original wheel.
I have a complete HJ Auto and was told to change the spline on my wheel to fit the HJ but think it may look retarded.
Anyone able to point me in the right direction with a new product?

Try this guy, local product and he was at the Nats. Think he may only have a facebook page no actual website.

Yeah I did see that and spoke to him. He wants HK auto and EK columns bought and sent to him. I can't even find a bloody HK column.

Yep I have been looking and will probably go with alien retro columns. I guess having the column made from an Ek so it still looks original and have the auto on the tree still is something I want. It's expensive but I think the end result will be worth it.
