I used an un-servicable ring light to make a mount for a light panel I use.
( scroll down this old thread to see how it fits to my bellows: https://goccf.com/t/251132&SearchTe...light+panel)
The old ring light came with a variety of adapter rings the smallest is a 49mm thread. I use a stepping ring 40.5mm - 49mm. to attach the 49mm adapter ring. I had cut down the actual ring light to make a clip on mount for the light panel but for your purposes I think just the adapter rings would do. A number of E-bay sellers sell cheap Chinese made Kodak ring lights( made under license) often they have returned non-working ring lights. Its probably worth-while( the worst that can happen is they say no) to ask such a seller if they have such an example and take it off their hands for a cheap price. Alternately ask KEH, B&H or Adorama if they have un-serviceable examples they want to get rid of. One full set should give you every thing you need except for the stepper ring and that can be found easily on e-bay
Edit:
I did a quick search on ebay couldn't find the Kodak version. I found a working version of another make..The listing includes photographs of the adapter rings I am referring to:
