Default Sierra Cosworth front lower ball joint

Hi, could someone help me by giving me 3 dimensions from the lower tapered ball joint hole on a Sierra Cosworth 3door hub.
I need the diameter of the large bottom hole.
The diameter of the smaller upper hole
The depth of the lug that this hole is machined in.

Many thanks

Difficult to measure accurately as the taper does not come to a sharp edge.


Rough sizes for tapered hole where TCA fits 3 door Cosworth.


Top small hole 13.45


Bottom Large hole 17.45 ish


Thickness was a bit of a guess due to part being painted 23 mm


These sizes give an angle of 5 degrees per side for the taper, which seems like a sensible number !
