Re: Problem with front axle made of a mixture of parts.
If you're using a 34 type wishbone they favour the tie rod being above by the way they are shaped. You will need to retaper the holes in the spindles so the ends can go in from above and you will probably need to bend them up as well. As stated try and retain the ackermannn. Make sure you turn the spindles from lock to lock and maintain a clearance between the tie rod and the wishbone. There does not need to be a lot of clearance as long as there is some.
Re the tapers. Going half way from both sides is ok. It has been done many times before. You will need to buy or borrow a 7 degree taper reamer to do it.
