I just got the son-unit a tween bicycle yesterday (a Jamis with a 12"
frame). First thing I wanted to add was a rear rack. Of course like
nearly all rear racks on the market, the one I got had mounting hardware
that was hopelessly too short to reach the seat stay braze-ons. It was
off to Home Depot to buy some more aluminum flat bar, for more custom
rack stays.
What do bicycle shops do when a customer wants to mount a rack to a
bicycle where the hardware that comes with the rack is inadequate?

I've seen shops use interconnected chrome slotted sheet stock on a
couple bikes. Pretty sloppy looking, especially if you need to use a
couple spliced lengths.
