I cut off the 'rocker' half of a spare seat release clamp to use on one side of the stem's clamp, so that the lever still applied tension in the desired incremental manner, and used the same bolt as well, with a little of the head removed so that the bars can actually rotate over this setup when you want to fold. I might put the bolt in a drill chuck and sand off a bit more of the inner shoulder for a more snug fit at some point but it all works for now. Stem 'risers' are Syntace. Pictures below:
