Does anywhere sell P-clips or similar for mounting a rack to a bike without holes in the seat stays?
I presume I can use the mud guard mounts near the wheel axle but need some kind of "P-clip"?
Seen some rack mount kits for £12 odd but that just seems a total rip off.
Any one used anything else or got any smart ideas?
prob best with a seat post mounted rack
But the seat post ones I've seen don't tend to have very deep sides and I want to fit a proper pannier, not just a rack top bag?
I saw a fully laden bike outside the supermarket today using P-clips.
You can get seat post clamps with rack mount eyes like these Electra ones;

M-part also make them and are a bit cheaper. Also dependent on your seat tube dia. as only available in 28.6 and 31.8mm.
Tubus do mounting kits, you can get seat collars with mounting points, old man mountain racks do axle mounted ones

I used the same type of clips touring in France fully laden without problem.
Thanks Carlos, just what I was looking for!
