Sky-watcher Evolux 62ED and ZWO EAF Help

I have purchased a Sky Watcher Evolux 62ED and am trying to set it up for some automated wide field imaging.

While fitting a ZWO EAF to the bottom of the scope, I've noticed that none of the little silver flexible couplings that come standard with the EAF are compatible with the brass focusing pinion on the scope. The pinion is a larger diameter than previous Sky-Watcher ED scopes and doesnt fit the EAF couplings. I've attached a couple of photos of what I'm on about. The focusing pinion on the 62ED is approx 6mm in diameter and the largest of the couplings is approx 4.5mm.

Does anyone know of a possible workaround? Any information would be appreciated.
