Looking for a Front Rando Rack for a disc-only fork

I am search of a small front rando rack to pair with a new frame I am building up. The rack will support a Ruthworks handlebar bag (with decaleur) I already have. The fork on the new frame is disk only and has only one set of "low rider" braze-ons located about midway between the fork crown and the drop-outs (i.e. lower than the traditional rack braze-ons one would find right below the brake bosses on a fork that uses side-pull brakes).

The SimWorks Obento rack looked like the ticket, but I can't find one - everyone (the manufacturer included) seems to be sold-out. Anyone know a shop with one in stock?

Any suggestions for an alternative without having to get one custom built? I would prefer a rack I can bolt directly to the aforementioned braze-ons without having to wrap P-clamps around the fork legs.

You might check Compass- made by Nitto, they have one they say works nicely for disc bikes.

I was looking at the Obento but decided to go with the Nitto M1 because it was smaller. I got mine's at Bens Cycle - https://www.benscycle.com/nitto-m1-f...m1_870/product

Rawland Raidoverks is cool and pretty cheap compared to Nitto but unfortunately it sold out at the moment.

I have a brand new one if anyone is interested. I ended up with a much larger rack on my bike.

anything with adjustable struts should be able to use low rider bosses instead of typical rando rack bosses. What is available at the crown for attachment?
