Sick question

Umm. My RN came with a shortened pole, but I don't know how much. So... How, and from what points do I measure my pole from? And what is stock length pole measured from these points?

Thanks guys.
Let the pole measuring techniques begin lol.

pivot at the bottom, and nut that attaches the steering plate on the top. Measure along the pole, not the shortest way from pivot to nut.

OK I got off my azz and measured it. It's very close to 37" from center of the pivot bolt to the center turn plate bolt. Anybody know where this is at as far as shortened length?
