Pletscher front rack - help me out
So, by not reading an eBay description before bidding I bought a front crown mount Pletscher rack without mounting hardware. 
Can't count on those misleading pictures.
I'm guessing I could probably buy something from a plumbing supply store for the screw/wedges assembly, or just make one from wood, but does anyone have a pic of what the real hardware looks like?
Help an old fool out.

PastorBob posted something about this within the past year. If you do a search you should find it, or maybe he'll chime in.

Thanks h76, that's exactly what I needed. I didn't see a final resolution in that thread so I'll PM him, but the pics are perfect.
(and I can't believe I actually found something on here with a BF search

I also picked up on of those front racks for cheap and asked Bob about his experiences. I'll try and post the pics he sent:

I figured I'd make a mold of the wedge with a spare fork and some modeling clay, and then cut a piece of hardwood to the right shape. Another summer project.
