Italian spindle/axle options

Hi folks,
I’m in the process of putting together a bike with an Italian threaded bottom bracket. It’s Windsor from Acer in Mexico. I have the BB cups & bearings, but need some assistance with finding a spindle/axle. The cups are not labeled with brand or manufacturer. I realize that these BBs use a 70mm length and vaguely remember reading about some Japanese brands that produced something that would work. I have a small stash of spindles and the co-op where I volunteer has buckets full​​​​​, but am not sure what to look for or how to measure them. Would prefer to not invest a lot in this project until I have tested the fit and handling. Any help or guidance would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks & regards,
Van
