Fitting a pannier rack

Forums

Does anyone have some pictures of how they fitted a pannier rack to a prewar rigid Single?  I have a pair of Craven panniers but am considering how I might use them for weekend away, by adding their "W" rack.  I have some ideas but surely this has been done before?
Attached picture shows one (not mine) coming up at auction shortly.

The rack in this case is a reproduction WD 16H item. The stainless plate with the Givi fittings is attached to the rack in 4 locations, 3 of which were already present in the rack construction. The 4th location (lower front) required an additional L bracket to be welded to the rack.
I suggest not carrying fragile items in the cases - without suspension the contents get a good shaking.
