Re: tie rod end thread
The tie rods themselves or the nuts on the ends where they attach to the spindles?
According to these aftermarket sleeves, they're 5/8"

If installed properly, the outers should be RH thread. The inners will be LH thread.

Re: tie rod end thread
Taper on what? Tie rod ends? They probably are 1.500tpf (1,5 inches of taper per foot length) or sometimes called out as 7 degree taper.
As for the sleeves, I'm not paying 40$ for a small sleeve and 2 locking nuts, lengths of that aluminum hex tubing cost next to nothing, you can cut it down, mill it to whatever end hape you want and thread it L&R and be done. I'll end up doing that.

Re: tie rod end thread
you can buy them through www.colemanracing.com in the correct length already threaded at a more realistic price.
