As much as the op says it's for the hinged stems it was available in 1994 and there was no hinged stems.
But don't trust me, look in the '94 catalogue

an interesting post from a syncros chap in 1998
If you have a loose headset/stem when using a Syncros stem, here are a couple of things that you should look for to help remedy the situation. Most likely, the situation is occurring with the use of a star-fangled nut with our old 2-piece cotter clamp assembly, in particular with an alloy steerer tube.You should inspect steerer tube for a divot where the cotter clamps. If you have a divot, you should contact your dealer or our service department ([email protected]) to arrange to get a '99 three-piece cotter clamp which now does not require the use of our wedge-lock and is compatible with any star nut.You should always be sure that your stem and headset are moving freely and that your fork is moving up and down through the headset before preloading your top cap. No amount of torquing a top cap will unstick a seized steerer tube and headset. This will save the top caps of the world.Ride on!
