I've got several steering columns, all different lengths. I'm doing one now for my 1930 Standard coupe and I want the correct length. Any help would be appreciated.

Terry, I just measured the two tooth columns that I have: the ones from the 1929 are 36 5/8" and the 1930's are 37 5/8" (this does not include the spark/throttle quadrants).

I have a 31 the length of it from end at gear housing to end where control rods is 38.5 inches , it has the upper brace on the cowl area not the fuel tank.

The early 1930 models with the Gemmer 2-tooth design up into February had the short column. The later ones were all long.
