Thanks for the information. Very helpful. Lascauxcaveman, that SC looks great! I am impressed by your artisanal aluminum-working skills. But truly impressed by the woodies!

Golden Boy, I considered the spacers but due to both the rack and one of the mid-fork bosses being a bit out of alignment, it simply will not mount. Additionally (and strangely) the boss takes a larger bolt than the usual, so I would have to drill out the rack strut.
