question about the tie rod install on a MKIV complete kit

[howling-cobra]

FFR tech,
Last night I installed the steering rack and ran into something following along in the manual after installing the tie rods it states to add a castle nut and cotter pin. My tie kit did not come with a castle nut. It did come with the cotter pins. But, there isn't a hole in the threaded end to support a cotter pin. In addition, I torqued it down to the recommended torque setting and the threads don’t even make it to the nylon feature of the nut I received with my kit. I noticed that on the tie rod the threaded portion stops and the shaft appears to be tapered. Only allowing the threaded portion to go through the link so far before binding.

Looking at the parts layout on page 124 and other pagers it appears that the tie rod mounting screws are a lot shorter on the ones that I installed.

Any advice?

Thank you in advance,
Rich
