How do I fit a front rack to a hybrid bike?

I have bought a front rack suitable for a touring bike and am trying to fit this to a hybrid bike (short of time, no time to get another rack before I set off). Normally I'd attach the rack in two places - near the axle and to the front fork. However in a hybrid bike the front fork is of course thicker so I can't use the normal U-Shaped clamp to attach rack to front fork. Is there any way round this? Thanks

you should be able to get similar clamps, in various sizes, at your local hardware store.
