That's all good stuff, @rumrunn6. Thanks. I especially like the Tubus gadget because I've seen racks I'd like to put on though my forks don't have bosses. I might use that gadget for adding a rack. Given that all these ideas are expensiver than my homemade gadget, I'll keep making it. I've made it out of PVC pipe as well as copper pipe. Interestingly, I make them without using any rulers or other measuring tools. One of the hard and fun parts is mitering the pipe to fit the curvature of the fork. I just use a round file and keep checking the fit.
