Front Light for Rack

Hi folks, I hope someone can help me. I am looking for a light that will bolt on to the top on my Tortec Expedition rack. It has a plate at the top of the hoop with a hole (as you can see in the pic) for attaching a reflector, I think. but I would like to attach a light instead. I don't have room on the bars due to my bar bag.

Thanks George

The B&M Cyo I bought about a year ago came with a stainless steel mount that'd work with that, I think.

Should work to attach any handlebar mounted lamp.
Or take a piece of PVC pipe the right diameter and drill a hole in it, bolt this to the rack and put your light on the pipe.

Take a Minoura SpaceGrip, and disassemble

Attach the metal "U" shaped bracket, then add the end in the normal way.

This is it fixed to a fork crown, but the principle is the same

I took your advice on the PVC pipe, but instead of PVC pipe I cut a length of broom handle and drilled a hole through it to attach to the hoop.

Thanks
