I don't have a list of all the lengths, because I seldom need most of 
them, so here's what I have:

This version started in '71 and the OE measures about 17" I use a 20" 
which I can buy and make a larger bend to take up the slack.

That's definitely too short. The beetle lines are too short; they can 
be MADE to work, but it's a real pain. I get them made at 88", which 
works nicely.
