The stem is about 42mm wide at the bar, and the bolts are standard M5 tapered stem bolts

Thanks

I sold it for $200 as a buy it now. I have seen them go from $200-$395. They are all over the place on price.

Quick heads up re handlebar bolts, guys...one day I thought I just check the tightness and cinch the bars...just a safety thing...and to my horror a thread stripped inside the stem. It seems to be an alu thread insert.

Oh boy I think that's an expensive screw tightening exercise, just cost me a new stem :x ...anyway, I grabbed a longer bolt and tried that, and it grabbed perfectly :P ...phew, obviously that thread insert is nice and long and my short screw must have just stripped the end part.

Lesson: use long headstem handlebar bolts.
