Yeah - Tech 77's (still made today) although I nearly always bend the lever on em (images nicked from the Museum) these are hinged:

Then there's the 93 onwards MX-99 not hinged (if anyones got a right one they wanna swap for a left let me know

):

And for your bigger bar the Tech 99's that come with a shim and are hinged:

Oddy had some OK levers in the late 90s, avalable in 3 sizes I think (like the current ones are)

Oh, there was also the Oddy Pitbull lever. I used them for a while but I didnt like them. They felt a bit big

Tech 77s are really nice yet the race version (without the locking button) are harder to find, these ACS are nice too as the lever itself is just a little longer.
