Girvin Vectors are usually 1" steerer, so if your old stem is 1&1/8" then there's your problem.

Just buy a spacer to allow the 1 1/8" stem to clamp on the 1" steerer tube. On ebay and probably your local bike shop. Unless this is a good reason to buy a different stem.

yes, you can buy a 1" stem, Original Vector stems will be 1" if you're looking for restoring the bike to original.
check eBay for one.
