2wd Cosworth pinch bolts are tapered iirc,the castle nut type is for a 3 door and will be the same size thread from end to end.The 2wd and 4x4 use the same tca if that answers your question.Just not 3 door.
Would you care to explain what you are trying to do ?.If you have some 3 dr hubs and tca's swap the lot.They are adjustable are they not.

Rax,

Got a single tca from a buddy and wanted to order another and didn't want to get the wrong one, 2wd bolt hubs(saff) , interesting the 2wd/4x4 saff tca'sHow are the same, I'll just order a 4x4 one and will get the correct one then to be sure....

Have std 2.0 3dr tcas and they are bolt but look shorter than the cos ones...
