Kontact and Koyote
You two guys need to find a way to get along. You have clearly disrupted this OP‘s thread. I would suggest you both use the ignore list, but if you insist and continue with hostilities all around the Forums, then the MOD staff will be forced to get . . . . unpleasant.

How about this? Leave the hub alone and buy a pair of "P" clamps to connect the rack stanchions to the bottom of the fork blades?

The issue I see is that the lawyer lips (if present) will interfere with mating the rack stays to the fork in a way that allows for properly tightening either a QR or nutted axle.

I have tried to see the actual basket (not the Wald one that I and others have referenced) strut's design. So I think we have insufficient info to do more than speculate, which I've done. Still my concerns about compatibility and long term reliability continue. Andy
