I've done this twice using straight struts to the upper eyelets. See here:

first but once done, easy on easy off.
Enjoy that Hunq!

Hey,
I'm new here, but this group has already been a great resource. I've been 
building up my new hunqapillar, and have come to front rack attachment. I've 
seen posts where the big front rack has been attached without p-clamps. For 
some reason, those methods didn't really work for me. I ended up attaching the 
rack without the clamps but somewhat differently than I've seen before. Lower 
fork eyelets attached to rack via struts attached to the inside of the fork.
So here are my questions:

Is it a problem to attach the struts to the inside of the fork (about 1cm of 
clearance on each side between bolt and spoke)?

Is it an issue that the points of connection to the fork are the dropout 
eyelets and the lower mid-fork mounts? Would it be more stable with the second 
attachment to the higher mounts? Am I stressing anything too much? Etc etc etc.

Pics should be attached. Thanks in advance

I agonized for a while and then realized, "sometimes the best engineered 
solution is a hose clamp" (Garner Martin, Easy racer founder), or in our case, 
a P-clamp.  :)
The top mounts don't carry any vertical load, just horizontal. A P-clamp is 
short, so less flex, less vertical twisting of the rack, less weight, simple 
and you can't strip it out, like a braze on (which I did on my fork lowers). 
Less of a point stress riser on the fork too. Clayton (Bend)

Haha yeah, the idea of having 2 sets of braze ons that close and neither of 
them being all that useable is quite frustrating. I probably need to just stop 
fighting it and resign myself to the p-clamps Though that chainring hack 
looks pretty good.
