That’s a great solution, thanks. Hopefully they’ll start selling them soon. The dream is to send it back to Mercian for a refurb so if I did that I’d get them to add bosses.
Problem is, it’s a ‘functional bike’ and I use it daily so sending it away for a month would be a PITA.
EDIT - They are selling them in the U.K. here
Mr_Grun-
Hose clips with a strip of inner tube underneath and cheap bottle cage for the rat option.

You can add rivnut bottle bosses without the need for a respray.

If I am not mistaken, King cage is proposing solutions for frames without bottle cage mounts which is similar band-ons so they might be more sturdy?
