I've got the rack and the bike already - hence my desire to make it work. I can attach the struts to the brake pegs already, I've got the different fitting, or I can use clamps like in that picture.
the problem is the central bracket that attaches to the fork crown..
plxarc-
Are you planning of putting a lot of weight on the rack?
You could fit a brake booster and zip tie that loop to it and forget the strut for the fork crown. -
Mega-bodge solutions that probably won't work:
- Get a fork bung and some canti-hanger-like part and fit them to the bottom of the steerer. Here's some inspiration for you - quite neat there actually.
- Drop some sort of rod from the steerer, stem or bars and attach it to that. Would be flimsy.
I imagine drilling the crown would result in a trip to the dentists for new teeth

Does it have to be that rack? You could get one that mounts to the brake pegs instead
