hi good people....i need some info on different column lengths...
currently got a bodged one fitted,its had collapsible section removed and pidgeon sh..ted back together.
what is overall  length of a column with collapsible section compared to a later column with universal joints...

cheers Paul.....

if you are fabricating one make it so you are comfy in the buggy, being 6'6" I extended mine by about 2 inches and moved the seats back

how did you extend your column Snoopy,Tramps has a very short bonnet,i might have to make up some sort of cowl to cover the column tube between dash and bottom of column head/ignition switch cowl(whatever you call it!).
The column fitted at present thats been shortened,it  looks right and close to dash,but mr tickle would have a game reaching it....

I used the bottom of a early solid beetle column although my top end is a proper mini one fitted with an LDV van shroud and switches.
