Bracketry for lights and saddlebags

[This topic originated as a branch from JoeB's gallery entry about his two Thorns: http://thorncyclesforum.co.uk/index.php?topic=8317.msg98573#new
Since it had gone off-topic, I split it and moved the tangential comments here to preserve the original thread. The photos of Joe B's bike below were a repost of originals still in his gallery at the link above. -- Dan.]

Thanks to both Joe B for photos and to Leftpoole for re-posting some of Joe B's photos. I had not seen that saddle bag support on the Audax before. It looks like a standard Carradice support, but with some extra reinforcement from some spare rack stays.
I might have to try to think harder about making something like that. I had some plans for a winter project to make a support modeled after one I saw on a bike in Iceland two years ago, but now I have to do some re-thinking.

I think those racks or stays only are available from Carradice.

it's a carradice expedition rack ok for barley saddlebag but any thing bigger better off with a proper rack .

I do not mean to diverge too much from the topic of the two beautiful bikes here, but I mentioned that I saw a bag support in Iceland, attached a photo. But I was thinking making a support that is closer to horizontal by using two clamps on the seatpost instead of using the rack mounts on the frame seatstays.
I have a Nelson Longflap and a Pendle bag. The Pendle does not really need a support, I have just hung it from a couple spring loops on my Conquest saddle that has no loops but is a sprung saddle.
I have commented before that I planned to use a sheet of Coroplast as a stiffener if I could ever find a source. And I found that a store called Home Depot in USA sells Coroplast, so I bought a big sheet of it for several projects, including as a stiffener in each of my Carradice saddle bags.
