hi can anyone tell me the dimensions of the taper on the steering bar Track Rod End on the discovery and defender its part number RTC5869 and RTC5870

i know the thread is 11/16" and the nut to hold it on is M12 but its the size and degrees of the taper i'm after so i'd be able to have a part manufactured that the steering bar would bolt up to

cheers

I could measure the top and bottom diameter and length of taper if I have one in my parts bin.
Don't know when this could be though as I forget these sort of things unless I go especially to look for it.
Why not drop the TRE and measure it?

yeah i could do that but i was thinking there might be a known measurement already that wouldn't be subject to any measuring errors
but i have since found out it is the same as the anti roll bar link

Email a supplier and ask dimensions
