Fakelifter Potts bolt help
brimfull:
I've recently picked up a Forklifter style stem but it has a solid bolt and I need a Potts bolt for it.
Any ideas on what sorts will fit and where to get one would be greatly appreciated
Many thanks in advance

If you can post a pic up of the bottom of the stem and the wedge, I may be able to point you in the right direction. It will more than likely be a fairly standard bolt. You will need a photobucket or similar account....copy and paste the IMG code here. :daumenhoch:
I imagine it will look something like this.....

I think the top nut is actually longer for these stems? you might have trouble tightening that type shown up when its in place? but I could be wrong? tbh I've only seen the type listed separately that the link shows,maybe one of the fella's on here has a spare in there box of spares :daumenhoch:

Agree, redline forklifter ones (and alike) have a longer 'top', more like this:

Had a quick look around last night for you. Couldn't find any other than the one on the stem in the ad.

Thanks guys, yep they are longer and different to normal ones
This isn't my stem but you can see the bolt on it, I might be able to make one out of a two piece bolt if I can find one
