Rack mounting on a Muddy fox with Wishbone Seatstays????

[afp401]

It's a 1990 courier comp with the wishbone seat stays
(I'll put up some pics later).
It does have two braze ons at the rear drop outs (one for mudguards one for a rack I thought) which made me choose it over a Marin I was also thinking to buy.
I love the looks of the funky seat stay design but little did I consider how I'd attach a rack at the top, and am a bit puzzled.

Anyone found a satisfactory way to mount a rear rack?
Preferably a Blackburn EX-1.
I want this rack because I want to get a Co-pilot Limo Child seat for my daughter as it seems by far the most comfy design for falling a sleep in.

Blackburn apparently used to produce an adapter .
There are also some aftermarket ones. Anyone got first hand experience?

They appear to be:
A. only available in the states.
B. might interfere with the canti breaks
C. i'd need to be lucky for it to be a perfect fit and not wobble

There are also some seat tube adapters. While they look much neater they are far out the way (will the rack even reach?) and will obviously make adjusting saddle hight (or quickly swapping it for one with out the trailer bike attachment a total pain)

I've had that exact same problem. Needed a rack on my wishbone Rocky Blizzard frame that only has rear dropout eyelets. My solution was to get an Old Man Mountain rack, model White Rock. You mount the rack on the cantilever studs so there is no need to work with adapters or clamps. Fantastic solution and very solid quality, it survived 10 days riding rough bridleways with full package.

In case you don't have rear dropout eyelets, they even have solutions where you mount the rack on your rear axle.

Re:

The Rocky Mountain in the picture above appears to have eyelets in the wishbone for dual top stays from a blackburn, most of the early muddy Foxes had them as well. The ones that didn't you often had to bolt together one of the dual stays to a straightened single stay and connect it to the seat QR, not elegant but it worked.

Not just me then - my Pathfinder also has two sets of braze ons on the drop outs but none on the monostay. No idea what the other set are for!

Re:

I looked this up when considering it for my 89 seeker and the answer seemed to be p-clamps aka p-clips.

In the end though I realised I had two types of rack - one with two brackets (one to each seat-stay on a normal bike) and one with a single bracket (to fix to a seat-stay bridge). I also had a threaded eyelet on the underside of the wishbone to which, with a bit if careful bending with pliers, I was able to attach said single bracket.
