Subject: [CR]Classic/ KOF racks for brake bolt mounting

I have a couple of bikes that I'd like to mount rear racks to, but none of them have rack brazeons on the seatstays. I just don't like clamping anything over the paint, not even with rubbers pads, so I'm looking for classic rear racks that attach to the rear brake center bolt.

I have a couple of classic Blackburn racks, but they are both the type that bolts to seatstay brazeons. Anyone have a classic Blackburn rack for sale that mounts to the brake bolt? Can the currently produced Nitto rear racks like those sold by Rivendell be mounted to the brake bolt? BTW, is there an easy way to describe a classic Blackburn rack to differentiate it from the newer ones? For example, were the classic ones marked "Jim Blackburn" rather than just "Blackburn". I know a classic one when I see it, but I'm just looking for a simple way to describe what I am looking for.
