No way, wheels from Moonglu! My brother and I bought all our kit from there in the 90's, when it was Mark, as Blossomgate Cycles. Neil certainly does know his stuff!
It seems we look at similar kit. I found that Nitto bar a bit ago and really considered it for my Explosif project... I still am!
I also wondered about bar extensions (although I'm dubious of doing such a thing) and also found the Control Tech product above... I reckon though, since the amount they insert into the bar, is about twice the diameter of them, then when you've fitted a decent lock on(?) grip. Should be golden eh?
I like the amount of silver you've got going on btw. My mate has just done a build with a lot of silver kit on a Bone-white coloured frame. Looks incredible!

Yeah I have no fear of them falling out or coming loose, properly made little things they are.
Going old school with some ODI Attack grips
I’ve never done a silver build before, so keeping my fingers crossed it looks good once complete!
Just need to stop changing my mind, gonna have to sell those Stooge bars, the DMR stem and the black Hope chainring now!

Clearly I have a problem….
After originally planning my Enve stem and Milhouse bar combo, then a set of Andy’s Scrambler bars, then some Nitto Bullhorns…. enter bar and stem combo number four…. and I STILL haven’t got the frame and forks yet!!
Have these bars incoming
Stem is also on the way
Yes, yes I do need help!!

And much earlier than anticipated they’ve just arrived! 
Watson Cycles custom made titanium bars, 680mm wide with a 32 degree sweep…. very nice!
I will probably use the bar extenders I bought for the Bullmoose bars which will take them up to 720mm
They guy I bought them from, Tristan Ridley, has travelled all over the world bike packing.
He has some fantastic pics of where he’s been here, thought it might be of interest: https://www.tristanridley.com/
A quick going over with some Scotch-Brite has brought them up as good as new!
