I have a GB Stelvio RTE stem that is missing the cap or plug that covers the quill bolt. See (the rather poor) pics at:

The recess is 13mm across and you can see a circlip in there.
I don't know how vintage this stem is, but it rides atop my mid-'60s Raleigh/Carlton Flyer (if that helps keep it on topic).
Let me know if you can help me out before I resort to carving a cork plug.
Thanks,
