    Hi there Team,
    I'm looking to source the measurements of a 73 Buick Centurion, 4 door hardtop steering column as the one in my car was cut short for the original right hand conversion!.

    I've hunted high and low to get the measurement for the steering column but haven't found it anywhere despite extensive internet research.

    I have been looking at Flaming river, which come in 28, 30, 33 and 35 etc length wise, hence me wanting to know what the steering column length measurement.

    All responses very much appreciated.

    Cheers

    Jim

    What exactly is the measurement you are looking for? I mean I understand what you are asking but from what to what do you want measured? I have a steering column from a 74 Lesabre laying around I can measure for you. Pretty sure it will be the same as the one in a 73 Centurion.

    OK, I found the needed dimension from the Flaming River website. From the end of the column shaft to the top of the shroud is about 35".

    Hey there Walter,
    Apologies for the very slow response. Thanks for the info. Just to be painful. Is you old 74 steering column 35 in too. Heres a pic of my wheels.

    Cheers
