High steer stud tapered nut

Anyone know where to find the 1/2" -20 tapered nuts that come in the Reid high steer stud/nut kit?

Is it not just a standard 1/2" lug nut? In the picture it looks like a normal 60* taper lug nut. I'm not that familiar with the Reid stuff though.

That's what it looks like to me honestly.

I'm pretty sure it is. I believe that's what most of the high steer kits on the market use.

A couple years back I bought a rig with homemade high steer arms that weren't tapered and just had the factory bolts in them. I ordered a set of 60* taper reamers from McMaster Carr and used grade 9 studs and the exact same lugnut you posted. It's worked perfectly so far.
