I currently have a full bar of controls on matchmaker clamps. I want to change some components round. (I am going 1x10 from 2x10, and also swapping to Shimano brakes) 

Can someone shed some light as to if there is a suitable matchmaker type clamp which allows this or do I need to buy separate clamps? 

I currently have: 

Left hand matchmaker
X9 10sp shifter
reverb stealth remote
Elixr 3

Right hand matchmaker
X9 10sp shifter
Elixr 3

 I want: 

Left hand
SHIMANO XT M785
(no shifter) 
reverb stealth remote

Right hand
SHIMANO XT M785X9
10 sp X9 shifter

You can run a problem solver on the right but you won't need one on the left, if you run a RH Reverb upside down under the bars it marries in perfectly with the M785 brake (brake clamp closest to grip, Reverb inboard of it).

I had an M785 brake and XTR M980 shifter ran with an Ispec mount on the right recently but have gone back to a regular clamp as I couldn't get the positioning of the shifter just right for me
