Can't see where the taper is, but for the lower tubes to slide in and out they couldn't be tapered, is it the upper bits that are tapered?? The R-tickles I have seen were for the Meade tripods, similar in construction but not identical. The trick seems to be getting the aluminium bits off unscathed. If you have only a small amount of taper on the upper legs you could possibly remove some off the top of the leg.
