Looking for an adapter like the one pictured here on the Soma Porteur rack that allows a rack designed for eyelet mounts to be used on a bolt on hub. Any ideas of who sells this adapter alone? Soma doesn't appear to do so.

Thrift shop, yard sale, county dump, find an old or wrecked beater bike and chop off or de-braze the fork ends, then drill the rack mounting holes. Might have to do a bit of grinding if the fork ends have the safety/lawyer nubs on them.
Might or might not work and your experience may vary
I haven't done this specifically but have done similar things with other stuff. You'll probably want two screws on eack rack leg to avoid making a hinge point.

Are you talking about the two little things on the bottom, each held on with two bolts? If so, almost no racks out there have the two bolt holes to fit to an adapter like that, thus you would be drilling holes into a rack where it was not designed to have any holes. So, I suspect the only ones out there were designed to fit to specific racks. The rack manufacturer might make them in different lengths for different size wheels?
