yes u can fit it on but the left tierod end is desined to take a steering dampner and not a relay rod so the taper is around the wrong way..

so need to find a tierod end that is made for a relay rod to attach to.

what you need is the steering arms from a BJ43 HJ-FJ47 Cruiser ( have some of these arm sets on the shelf and are getting hard to get ) from about 1979 on as these have the correct bolt position for the later disc brake svivel housings. Alternatively you can get taper bushes to fit small 40 series tierod ends into the later arms ( have got some new ones on the shelf as i use them when doing conversions ) or fit a 75 series track rod but it still gives you the problem of connecting the drag link as the track rod has a larger taper.
