Do you know what the taper is on the 1995 GL V6 tie rod end? I'd like to re-use Contour parts on the car I'm building that uses VW spindles. The two are different, but in the right direction for me to ream the spindles to fit the Contour tie rod ends. This is a rather obscure detail question, but I saw a mention that you are aware of differences in Contour years in a different thread when I searched.

I'm off to the machinist next Saturday to see about shortening and re-threading the Contour tie rods. Another tie rod end solution is to have him re-thread the rods with a die he's got, and use a spherical rod end, and drill the taper out of the spindle. On that visit, he may be able to identify the taper I've got, I didn't ask that over the phone, although I prefer the Contour ends for geometry reasons.

Thanks in advance,

Gar
