John, Having mounted a VO Constructeur rear rack on a Bleriot, I will say that you may end up wanting to cut the ends of either the struts or the top tange, depending on fit and aesthetics. And I can attest that the steel is hard. But it's doable with a hacksaw and file; a Dremel tool comes in very handy for these jobs as well. Good luck, Steve
