Please help?
So I posted these pics on a FB group asking for help and as always got nothing.
Man I miss the days when forums were the go to and questions were all answered by friendly enthusiasts.

So I’m returning to thesamba for your help please guys!
It’s a pretty simple measurement. If you own a fat column <53 Barndoor. My understanding is the steering wheel sits a tad closure to the dash on the earlies?

I’m sure I’m not the first or last to need this with all the steering box raises that happen.

Thanks guys.

Ok, I lied Cool Very Happy

But it doesn’t have a steering column I’m afraid, because it’s been cut in half for some reason.

Maybe try a phone call to Irv or someone who’s probably got one parked up if no one on here can assist dude? Or Matt Smith? He’s selling the 52 samba.

I can measure mine later Rob. Steering box has been raised, and column adjusted, but it should still be at the correct height

If you get a chance Scotty.
Irv’s gonna get some off the 51 when he gets back from Germany. But would be ace to have a couple of measurements to compare.

Does this work? Kind of hard to hold the tape measure and get a good pic, but looks like 1 7/8" to the top of the wheel. Measurement A in your first post is 5 1/8". Let me know if you need anything more...
