Subject: [CR]Old Style Cinelli/Windsor seatbolt

I've been trying for most of a year to have some old style Cinelli seat bolts made to replace one a painter lost. A CR member is willing to make them, but needs a pattern. There seem to be variations, particularly in the style of the nut. Many of these seem to have been nothing but an ordinary hex nut, although perhaps the thread was unusual.

But the one on my Windsor was an unusuallt tall nut with a small flange on one end that fit into a recess in the seatlug. Anyone have one like this? Was this used only by Windsor? What about the repro bolts Jamie Swan made a while back? Were they like mine, or did they have the ordinary hex nut? Anyone have a photo of one of Jamie's repros?
