Is that "bracket" not load-bearing ? Bold move, relying on the QR nut to hold it up

I might be wrong but is it bolted to the eyelet for a rack? Hard to tell. Needs more photos.
I love a good bodge/engineering solution
The "bracket" is attached to the upright with two bolts, so can't pivot, and is just acting as an extension of the upright.
I think that looks awesome! I'll be keeping a lookout for other items which can be fixed with old disks.
That looks damn fine to me assuming it doesn't bend too much.
When you come back from a day off to find this ingenious improvisation to fit the basket supplied by customer.
Remind me never to use Wee Bike Hub for anything relating to bikes !!
That looks cool as a bodge.
What else is that rack mounted to, though? And what happens when the fork compresses?
Looks like it's going to snap/bend and end up in the spokes to me. Can't believe a shop would let that out the door.
EDIT: with a suspension fork in the mix, that is 'interesting'...
Has it been designed to pivot on the eyelet and have the basket hinged where it connects to the headset/headtube? Could work, provided you don't mind stuff falling out the basket when forks compress? Looking at the fork though, I suspect there isn't much travel available.
April 1st already ?

This, where is it attached up top?

To the other half of the disc? 🤔
