1973 Nitto Stem Question...

Hey all:

I recently purchased a 1973 Fuji Special Road Racer via eBay, and all was well and good until I realized that the stem was missing its expander nut. I've tried all FOUR of my local (and not so local) LBS's, and none carry the correct bolt - mostly due to its obsolescence I presume. I do not wish to switch out the stem, as it is a beauty of a Nitto. I've tried conveying the description of the bolt to several machine shops, but a visual would help. If anyone has photos of a similar expander bolt I can bring to a machinist/has one lying around that they wouldn't mind parting with, I'd be forever indebted! Here's some photos of the stem sans nut:





Thanks!
