Hi mate, great find. I’d say that the stem you’re after is a silver (alloy) Suntour copy. I’m just basing this theory on what mine had and that was an ‘85. Using the same theory, you should have silver rat traps, although I swapped mine for bear trap types.

Sound I've been eyeing a suntour stem but it's a blue one will keep my eye out, and your bang on the money with the rat traps I remember them well now smashing off my shins  :crybaby: will probs go for the bear traps aswell.

Now i9s your chance to upgrade all the parts you couldn't bitd!! get a genuine power stem if thats what you want although they are a little overpriced these days. alans do a nice copy for decent money. The ACs stoker is also nice and cheaper than a genuine suntour power stem. you might want to do a potts mod while you are at it ( front cable through a hollow stem bolt)
Forget the rat traps too they look and feel awful...especially when smashing into your shin!! i would get some cheap  DX copies or something like a KKT RMX which are cheap enough, or there are some white Royce plastic Gafite copies on ebay for cheap ...like a tenner!
