It seems to me you would need to be an incredible craftsman to make the crank properly fit a tapered spindle with a file. Maybe with a CNC machine.
I have the original bb assembly from an Aerospace (crashed so bad the REPLACEMENT fork was trashed)--yours if it will help, though it's pretty bunged up as well (from my expert brute force removal job), and I don't know how you'll get it to fit a regular BB.
