Equalizer Stem

Yes. Replacement faceplates are sold on their own here: Equalizer Stem Faceplate Kit. Pick the faceplate that matches the bar bore of your existing stem — 31.8mm and 35mm are not interchangeable.

Ensure the 'No Gap' indication is always positioned on the upper side of the stem, whether installed in the Rise or Drop setup. Leave no gaps between the faceplates and the stem body by tightening to 6Nm, followed by securing the lower side bolts to the same torque.

The Equalizer stem uses M5 bolts with a 0.8mm thread pitch and a 18mm threaded section and includes a 1mm washer at the bolt head.

The stack height for the Equalizer stem is 34mm.

You need at least a 55mm straight section on the handlebar to fit the Equalizer stem.

You flip the stem over. There is no separate part to buy and nothing to swap — the same stem gives 10mm of rise one way up and 10mm of drop the other, so you can try both without committing to anything. Two things to get right when you turn it: the 'No Gap' marking must end up on the upper side either way round, and the faceplate bolts still go to 6Nm. That 20mm of adjustment is roughly what two or three headset spacers give you, without the spacers pushing the bar away from you as well as up. If you want the position fixed instead, the Equalizer Zero is the same stem at zero rise.
