Could you try (and its a long shot) machining the old boss out of the EB and Machining it back into the new wheel. I know it sounds stupid but they are roughly the same size aren't they?

although i haven't tried it myself, i beleive that if you fit a EB universal joint to a EF steering colum then it will simply just bolt straight up and allow you to retain the original steering rack.
