Which Champs Elysees front rack? Constructeur <http://www.somafab.com/archives/product/champs-elysees-front-rack> style, or the Mini <http://www.somafab.com/archives/product/soma-champs-elysees-mini-front-rack> front rack?
They both appear to have threaded eyelets on the bottom of the platform, so you could use an arm (like a centerpull brake arm) from the eyelet to the light. The Soma Wingmann <http://store.somafab.com/sowilimo.html> is a new product based on this idea. Use nylock nuts to help prevent jiggling and loosening. You can add nylon/rubber washers for extra grip. Regarding the Nitto Lamp Holder #6, its bolt is designed for the 7 mm struts <http://www.rivbike.com/product-p/rh1-20184.htm> used on Nitto racks. If you have the Champs Elysees mini front rack AND its struts are 7 mm, then the #6 should be able to clamp to the strut. The #6 won't work with the Constructeur rack because it needs to slide on to an open strut.
