Dang, stripped the wedge in my Cinelli 1A Stem
Title says it all.
Tightened it up and then gave it one last half turn, then i heard it pop.
Took it out and tried again and it wasn't happening.
If anyone has the wedge nut i'm looking for PM me
Thanks!

Any bike shop should have a spare one. Measure the angle or just take the stripped one in to match it up.

Join the gang. These wedges don't like being torqued. I had a hard time finding one when i stripped mine.

You sure it's just the wedge? The bike I had bought from Henry had a stripped bolt, and despite cleaning it with a die, the peaks of the threading were just not enough.
I managed to find a bolt at a LBS, cruder than the original but it held.
