Yah, the business end is the taper. It goes into what is basically a pressed in flat washer so the taper is not hyper critical, as long as it will partially plug the hole and give you some adjustment. The hole is propably not threaded the whole way to the taper since there is likey an o-ring or felt ring in there to seal before the threads. But now you can see what you're going for.
I'm glad I finally got a chance to help YOU in some small way
you add so much to the forums here
