So have a whole bag of 2 styles of mostly NOS AS bolts, now trying to figure out what they are for...short ones we've determined fit the stem of a prewar bike, but what would the long one be for?

Both lengths have same diameter and threading, short one is about 1 5/8", long one is about 2 1/16", from top edge of head to the end. Both have the 2 metal flanges off the head used for a slot(s).

Both are too big in diameter for a seat post clamp, prewar or postwar....anyone?

Thx!

Shot in the dark: are they for the tandem stoker stems?

Anyone have a tandem they can look at to see if this 2" bolt is indeed for a tandem stem?

Or perhaps for the hi-low flip-flop adjustable stems? Pre-war and early post-war.

Thx guys, I think that's exactly what they are.

Interesting that it was pretty quiet when I asked for info about these bolts, but as soon as I post them for sale, whoa check out the PM's.

Sure is. And it doesn't take long to figure out who is who in the game of withholding it for personal gain. Same old same old, no matter where you go I guess. But file another note for future reference as I always give preference to those that are helpful.
