Anyone know what the tie rod bolt taper is on an original 36 tie rod end? Switching to 7 degree taper. Do I have to build up and re ream or is there a sleeve for this?

I am looking for tie rod bushings as an alternative to welding up and re-tapering. I had to change out the passenger side steering arm, the original hole is the right taper but too big. The steering arm bottoms out and crushes the boot, the nut bottoms out on the thread as well.

Somewhere I have stashed an old TRW chassis component spec book. But I wouldn't bet on me being able to find it anytime soon. As for the nut bottoming out, a washer works well as a spacer.
They say there are no such thing as a stupid question. They say there is always the exception that proves the rule. Don't be the exception.
