I'm thinking the best set-up on my Jones Loop h-bar would have my brake levers inside the loop (or above the cross bar). This would require a hinged clamp on the lever. Looking around I could only find hinged clamps on hydraulic brake levers or in-line cross style levers. I've got mechanical disc brakes and the in-line style may work (depending on length/reach) but are not preferred. Anybody familiar with a hinged clamp mtb style lever for disc/v brakes?

Not much out there... only thing I can find after a quick search is the Clark's 370D.

Lots of bmx levers are hinged but watch out for handlebar clamp diameter and mechanical advantage.
There are some older canti levers, but again, not the right cable pull.

Another brotip for freeing up space on nerd handlebars like that is to mount the shifters directly to the brake levers. Shimano calls it "I-spec" and you can see it in my picture above.

So very helpful, considering all the results are in-line levers and BMX levers which have the wrong mechanical advantage since they're made for caliper or U-brakes.

but Fred says "BL-T780 are the good hinged clamp mechanical levers" so I'd do that.
I didn't know about that one. Looks great.

Thanks for the finds Colin and Fred. I was also able to find these from Trp:
