Rubber cork, threaded insert & machine screw. Drill hole in cork, insert the insert, screw tight to expand cork inside steer tube. All from the hardware aisle at Ace. I may have cut the narrow end of the cork off. Drill hole same size as screw so insert is tight fitting in cork. Seems to work great so far.
