So I bought a Grammo for my retro build. Unfortunately it came with the wrong expander bolt - it's way too long. As far as I can tell, the correct part is a cap head 110mm M7x1 *aluminium* bolt. I can buy one from the States, NOS. For £100. Gah! Before I return the stem, does anyone know where I could source an M7 bolt in that length? - preferably in Al or Ti, but I'll take stainless if I have to. I could conceivable jerry-rig something with M7 threaded bar, but I'd rather not - in part because weight-saving was part of the point of getting the Grammo in the first place.

    M7 is a non-ISO standard. I would try Retro-bike forum as a first stop, otherwise get your local engineering machine shop to turn you one up?
    Make mine an Italian, with Campagnolo on the side..
