Re: Column Length
265MM from the centre of the dash bracket to the underside rim of the standard steering wheel
Re: Column Length
Yep - double checked mine: 262mm from uppermost surface of U-shaped dash bracket to the visible joint between the indicator mechanism and the steering wheel (distance includes both honey pot and indicator mechanism).
Cheers,

Re: Column Length
Flaming River milled finish.
Looks pretty good, and got it plus fire wall mount for 190 bucks cheaper than RRP and no postage
.
Ididit are probably better quality and design but the Flaming River look less cluttered around the Honey Pot and like I said, got a good deal
