dunno how long it is, but I can vouch that it will come right out......

I installed mine yesterday.

I needed the column slightly longer (50mm), so put the triangular section in the vice, and levered it out of the main column (it was the white plastic bit that moved!)

To shorten just bashed it back in a bit.

I think the white plastic section allows the column to colapse in an accident.

This allowed me to fine tune the steering wheel position.

I find Gaffa tape a good safety feature
