The above is a picture of what I mean (I used to be a professional draughtsman- so the above is just a shocking 3 minute sketch)
Just noticed I haven't labelled the threaded studs as threaded studs. If anyone still cares at this point, the thread studs are the things that look like stroppy caterpillars.
Quality monitoring would have sent that one back to me with a very impolite message!
Apologies, I should have said thank you for taking the trouble to draw that up. So thank you.
On the rack I use there's no plate at the moment for a light. So your fine design wouldn't work I'm afraid. I have one of those plastic slide in clip type things, screwed to a random bit of aluminium, that the lamp I use fits to.
I can imagine that if I were to go down the DIY adaption route whatever I come up with would involve p-clips. And a suitably shaped piece of aluminium sheet. Or something.
One thing I have learnt is that panniers (various) and rack-packs (various) don't always mate with the racks the way one might hope. I have 6 racks, though I think I only bought one of them as a discrete purchase. The rest were acquired with bikes. So I have some that work well with the pannier(s) I want to use, but no light plate, and vice versa.
I haven't got a dynohub, but I do have SKS Chromos with the rear reflector. Apparently the battery B&M Secula (?) mounts to the same holes, but there are reports on the SJS website of it turning on/off randomly. And I personally think that reflector is too low, so I could well end up getting one of these
