swapping a two bolt face plate for four bolt
I just stripped one of the holes in my TTT Zepp stem, and through my tears, I noticed that the stem is in fact drilled for a four bolt plate, with four brand new threaded holes for the same size bolt on either side of the two center ones.
I don't suppose it's possible to simply swap one face plate for another e.g. whatever I can scare up? If it's possible at all, would simply a ttt 4 bolt 26mm clamp face plate do, or would it have to be specifically for the Zepp and/or would it have to be for the Zepp of the same year (which is unknown technically, though it came on a 2001 Jamis)?
I'm assuming I just have to recycle this stem, but hope springs eternal.

You can buy a nice newer stem on ebay for $25.00. Might be the way to go.
