Have you considered using p-clips?
An unrelated question, can anyone explain why mounting a rack on the front wheel would be preferable to the rear? I always thought rear panniers were the go-to option, but front seems popular here.

One advantage is that you can mount the panniers lower in the front. Putting the weight as low as possible makes for a more stable ride. I also feel like it is a better idea in terms of load distribution. There is already your heavy ass on the rear wheel so why not put the luggage on the front wheel.

I had a browse through this thread but can't seem to find good examples of p-clip setups as examples, sadly...

Just came across this Thule tour rack, which seems pretty pricey...
Any other recommendations for rear racks that attach to a frame with no eyelets, please?
