Eccentric bottom bracket with English threads?

So I'm working on a single-speed cx project and I'm trying to set it up with an EBB. The shell is PF30 (46mm) and there's plenty of EBB options for using a 24mm spindle crankset, but I've got some square taper cranks that I really want to use for this. What can I say, I'm dumb and stubborn.

Does anyone know of a 46mm EBB that takes English threading? Phil Wood used to make one, but it seems that they're not anymore.

Eccentric bottom brackets only work with external bearings afaik, so it won't work with square taper cranks. But Wheels MFG makes an eccentric bottom bracket for BB30.

Edit: nvm, I guess square taper eccentric bb existed once

I would look at a tandem EBB insert. It might be the same size, if it is, Bob's your uncle. I can measure mine later when I get a chance, but specs should be available on line.

Unfortunately I think tandem ones (Bushnell included) are wider diameter than standard PF30.
