not sure that you can swap the top, i would nearly say they are not interchangable but i've never tried and don't know anybody that has, i once made an EK wheel fit a H/KTG collum

My EK sedan had an EH column in it when I got it.
The EK wheel scrapped on the EH honey pot, I was told to stop the scraping or replace the steering column to get rego.
