Could the stem be a .833"? It's the BMX/crappy old American bike standard.

Looking forward to seeing it / reading your thread when you're done - might even start a new style!

Thanks for the idea about the stem. The 0.833 inch size actually sounds about right - I'll try measuring the inside of the steerer with a vernier instead of trying to stuff all of my old stem collection into it! The Huffy certainly qualifies for the description of a crappy old American bike, so probably fits the stem standard for the same. I didn't think of BMX parts, but that sounds like a really good idea, especially as there's a shop on my journey home that's having a clearance of old stock at present - not much roadie stuff, but a lot of BMX bits. Very much obliged!
