Title: DK Stem Resto
Post by: Zippy on May 03, 2006, 11:23 PM

I recently bought this DK stem in a sorry state and have so far got it to this standard. A little further to go. What I really need though is the long bolt and the wedge, anybody got one.

I always like these old stems. It's a lovely small bit of kit. and very shiney.

I got some bolts ... just not sure what size.
and if memory serves me correct the wedge for dk's is the hardest thing to get right as generally they are a diferent angle.
