Need help finding a spacebar that fits a 42mm stem.

I prefer not to mount on the handlebar as my configuration right now is just right for the handle bars. I am planning on stem under or over moutning my lighting system. I have a KORE STEMLITE Titainium (sp) stem which is 42mm.

I was thinking of mounting like this guy https://www.flickr.com/photos/9320902@N04/1376443656/ but the Topeak spacebar is 38mm max. Argh..

Any help would be appreciated.

Performance has them. I have seen them at a lot of LBS's also.

Perhaps I should clarify a bit better. I have a 42mm diameter stem on my bike. No I am not going to take it off and buy another stem. The Topeak's measurement of 38mm max. tells me it won't work with my stem. The Minorua Spacebar broke on my bike and it is very hard to get it to work with a 42mm stem. The plastic insides is what broke.

Right now I'm looking for a spacebar that can take a 42mm stem. Thanks in advance.
