Steering Column Confusion-G16
Can anyone tell me the length of the steering column cover on a G16 from the bottom of the steering wheel to the boot near the dash. My stock one is 15 inches long. I ordered a chrome one, and it is 26 1/2 inches long. I called the company, and was told that I must have an older cart because of the stock steering column length. of course, I don't have the cart serial number with me, but the dash appears to be stock. I have been ordering G16 parts for the cart, and theyve been fitting fine. Unfortunately, I won't be home until tomorrow night, and this is driving me nuts. Any help is always appreciated.

Re: Steering Column Confusion-G16
The chrome tube cover should slide thru the rubber boot all the way to the aluminum steering box. May want to wrap the stock steering colum a few times with electrical tape to keep it from rattling.

Re: Steering Column Confusion-G16
Awesome! thanks for the response. I called the company and they didn't offer that information. I'll either do the tape wrap, or I may have some thin cushion foam that I may be able to insert into the cover.I'll try it when I get home tomorrow. Thanks again.

Re: Steering Column Confusion-G16
I wanted to make sure that the stainless steel cover completely covered the column. I called Jake's and was told most columns are the same diameter just different lengths. I ordered the longest one I could find. It was listed for the G14-G21and 26 1/2" long. I preferred to cut to length rather than taking a chance it might be to short. Jake's also said the sports shifter was listed for the G14-G22 and would usually work on the G8 but sometime required a little persuading of the splined arm.
