Road Cycling “It is by riding a bicycle that you learn the contours of a country best, since you have to sweat up the hills and coast down them. Thus you remember them as they actually are, while in a motor car only a high hill impresses you, and you have no such accurate remembrance of country you have driven through as you gain by riding a bicycle.” -- Ernest Hemingway

I have to use ties and rig up somke bastardized version up a moiunting bracket to mount my headlight and computer. The units still want to slip from the road vibration.

Is ther a company that makes mounting brackets for the newer O/S 31,8 bars? This is a hassle!
Other suggestions, or is the only alterantive is to go back to a 26 mm bar?

A bf user krazyderek made a mount similar to FSA's that is specifically designed for this. FSA's model is called the "Control Center"--you can find it at their webpage--it seems to cost about $25-30 at most places online.
Here is the thread and info on the similar design derek is making.
