I have a 1991 raleigh 'Chiltern' with a chrome stearing stem/post 22mmx23mmx30mm.
I'd like to increase the reach to 60mm or over to calm the twitchy steering.
As best I can measure, the clamp is 23mm?
Anyone know where I can get an alloy version replacement?
Thank you.

It's a quill type. Best bet would be an adjustable one like this:

Don't worry about the stem diameter being slightly narrower than your existing one. I just used the 'wedge' from mine, there is a visible gap between the stem and the tube but it's still a tight fit.

Thanks for your reply's guys.
Measured the clamp again...it's 1'' (25.5mm).
I recon a long stem alloy hybrid type will be what I'm after.
