chrishil1:
keep an eye on the for sale section or checkout http://www.raleighburner.com
for sale section, as the burner came with the same sr stem (sr-ms422). Thats where I sourced mine from. cheaper than ebay
Good set of chaps2.

something like this would fit the bill:
http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/OLD-SCHOOL-BMX-SR-HANDLEBAR-STEM-CLAMP-RALEIGH-BURNER_W0QQitemZ320034114567QQihZ011QQcategoryZ56194QQssPageNameZWDVWQQrdZ1QQcmdZViewItem
Im just leaving mine silver, as I have no bars yet... :'(
GREMLIN:
I'm already watching that one :LolLolLolLol:. Ash from Poole. Sound bloke, i've had a couple of bits of him over the time. With that i'd polish the top like a mirror and would get the rest of the clamp coated in black. I'll see how it goes. G :daumenhoch:
cd:
If you find a sr handlebar stem go for the worst looking and cheapest one you see - mint ones go for heavy money for an originally cheap part.......30mins with some autosol and wet-and dry and it will look brand new......matt black hammerite is good for the bottom part of the stem.....
The parts set you bought look very good......I don't think the spider is orginal though ?!? Also the break cable outers on calis were off white transparent if you really want to get specific......and sr pedals are hard to find for good money - I settled for some 80s NOS gt platforms for about £10

the spider looks proclass to me, same as mine.
I got my sr stem £8 delivered, was either off here or the burner site.
