Being a few years removed from the “fray”, I will not suppose to know the precise answer, but I will venture to say BOTH are correct.
I believe it’s one of those un-documented mid-year supply changes, much like the variation in aluminum facing for the instrument panel, or the variation in the speedo backround appearance, or a couple of other subtle changes.
Personally, I prefer the longer, chrome-plated steel signal-control arm.
Hi Mark - Good to hear from you. Happy new year, I was faced with the same decision a while back. I opted for the long one as the short one is not easily reachable without looking for it.
