I've got 2. One is 21 3/4" (546mm) long from bend to engaged end. The other is 18 1/2" (469 mm) long.
Does anyone know what car(s) they belong to?
Thanks.

Re: Hand-Crank shaft lengths
I can report the overall length of a TC crank at 24" for home market, and 27 to 28" for EXU. Not sure what that relates to when measuring from the bend but it's a start.
If it's shorter, it could be darn near anything since many vehicles used the same crank handles. Austin, M.G., Healey, etc. The construction may give you a clue. Diameter of the steel rod, brass versus steel rotating handle, etc.

The MGA handles from '57 thru '62 were :
made from 5/8" round bar.
Long run is 25-1/4" overall, 24-5/8" inside the bend.
Cross run is 7-1/2" overall, 6-7/8" center to center, 6-1/4" inside the bends.
Short end is 4-5/8" overall, 4" inside the bend, including the spinner tube.
