Probably not any help (Karrimor bag & cable brakes) but....

^^^^^^^Big white zip tie stops Klickfix clamp splaying apart as it tends to slide out along the bars.

Don't know if you can without some serious bodge. ^I stand corrected^

What about a secondary flipped stem with a cut down flat bar or an accessory bar?
