Bikes: Bob Jackson Vigorelli

Rack and No Eyelets

So, I am looking to mount a rack to my Bob Jackson Vigorelli. There are no eyelets for mounting a rack and no rear brake. I already have a rack from an old bike, so all I need to find is the hardware needed to mount the current rack.

I have found some p-clamps for mounting to the seat stays, and I found a Tubus quick release mount for mounting at the drop-outs. However, the quick release mount was expensive and all I need is the hardware and not the quick release. $45 is a bit too much for hardware. Anyway, does anyone have some suggestions for mounting to the axle of a Phil Wood rear fixed hub?

If you have a different suggestion for mounting a rack or maybe some other way of carrying my gear then let me know.

EDIT: One thing I just realized; with an axle mount I would have to remove the rack to change a tire. I don't like this idea at all.
