Newbie desperate for help!

I have bought a used Giant TCR alloy frame to replace my damaged road frame.
The frame has a seemingly unique attachment method for the front derailleur... the derailleur type is braze-on but the frame wont take the normal clamp adaptors as it has two bolt holes for use with an adaptor missing in this case!

This adaptor attaches to the frame and then takes a braze-on mech, but i cant find an adaptor anywhere, anyone seen or heard of this before?

Sounds like you need something like this:

Giant Road Front Mech Plate | Frames - Derailleur Hangers | Cycle - Cycle Sports UK (http://www.cyclesportsuk.co.uk/product_info.php?products_id=4152&cPath=567)

However, I'd speak to someone at a Giant dealer just to make sure you get the correct part for your model and model year.
