Annoyingly the RRA has no bolt hole on the chainstay bridge and I am NOT drilling it, so advice regarding pipe clamps/similar hacks to get an M5 bolt in there would be welcome.

I’ll be considering a bottle dynamo
I guess the Velogical Dynamo comes to mind. Also, @JacqueLucque reviewed it positively some time ago on Bike Radar

After some initial resistance, I finally popped ‘guards on my Raleigh ready for the autumn. I don’t know why I didn’t before, tbh - 35mm Bluemels basically weigh nothing and in this silver, they blend in beautifully with the rest of the bike IMO. Bonus points for finally finding a spot for an old Cold Dark North sticker.
I will die on this hill regarding VO/Honjo/Berthoud guards being harder to fit than these - especially the front guard, with all the gaps under the fork crown, the five independent adjustment points and the tendency of the guards to twist meant I spent half an hour or so eliminating rub. They also run a tad high for my liking so I’ll be cutting myself some flaps too.

The last step for autumn riding will be a dynamo. The budget doesn’t stretch to a SON/SP hub dynamo (and Shimano would be criminally heavy) so I’ll be considering a bottle dynamo. Suitable suggestions are welcome; I know they aren’t the most consistent but it’ll light the road and that’s all I need.
