Default conversion from knockoffs to 5-bolt pattern

Can anybody suggest from which year and model I can get donor parts (spindles, etc) for conversion from knockoffs to 5-bolt pattern for my 72 etype v12?
I'd appreciate any ideas or suggestions,
Andrés

Caveat: Haven't sought-out photos (d'you have any?) and zero personal exposure to how they are mounted on a 72 E-Type. But historically a principle dif was use of different length fasteners to secure the Rudge-Whitworth adapter ELSE directly attached wheel.

Not sure studs or bolts even need replaced or altered in all cases.

How and where can that be most easily researched for your '72?
