Help me bodgers, I'm stumped - I-Spec-EV to non-round bar or tube

The bodge - fitting an I-Spec-EV shifter or dropper to a non-round or non-standard OD bar section.ย 

There are I-Spec-EV mounts for 31.8mm bars and 22.2mm bars, but not non-round or 25.4 bars (no suprise eh).ย 

I could get a part 3D printed. But does anyone have an idea for something that fits to (or could be adapted to fit) I-Spec-EV that allows a flexible plastic clamp, jubilee clip or even a couple of larger cable ties to hold it to the bar? (It could get bar tape over the top to tidy up).ย

A bit of 1/8" rubber wrapped between the bar and clamp?

This is 100% a 3d printer job!ย 

Spoil the brand, what are you trying to connect to?ย 

I'm guessing di2 wireless onto an aero top bar?

Good guess but me, Di2, aero? : ) I'm trying to mount an 11s Linkglide XT shifter to an old Ti H-Bar that has an oval cross piece, I want to clear up the long grip area by mounting the shifter to the cross piece. Looks like it could be a more ergonomic shift lever position.ย 

It is a 3D print job, I'm being impatient. I have 3D CAD but not a printer. There are enough variants of mount adapter out there that I thought something metal might be possible.
