Hi Anne, I have the Nitto Big front rack with a flat plate as you describe. I use the plate to mount a reflector -- I don't like having a light that far forward.
My headlight is a Planet Bike Blaze 2W, designed to clamp on a handlebar. To mount my light on the rack, I use a Velo Orange small-diameter band clamp and a Nitto Lamp holder (link below) to create a place to clamp the handlebar mount. This puts the light on the side of my rack in a good place that doesn't interfere with low-mount panniers, an Ortlieb handlebar bag, or even a Wald basket on the rack platform. Photo of my bike with the light mounted on the rack (look in front, just below the basket): http://tinyurl.com/7q2lt3q Nitto Lamp holder link: http://tinyurl.com/72z7qca Lisa On Friday, March 16, 2012 11:11:54 PM UTC-4, Anne Paulson wrote: > > Probably some of you have those Nitto racks Rivendell sells.
