Yes, I was kind of counting on that.
The hardest bit was bending it closed again, without owning any kind of clamping device. I was pretty pleased with my solution: using the quill stem adapter I had bought, as the long bolt in it is the same threading as the handlebar clamp. Effectively acting as a giant handlebar bolt and wedge-shaped washer.
Sensible people would simply own a vice, of course.
