Rear disc mounting on frame with no mounts!

Hi there!
I'm going through a running upgrade on my old bike and am looking at discs. I've already got a front (Avid Juicy 7) and just scouting around for a rear for not too much money!
Problem is, my bike doesn't have a rear disc mount. Its an old Giant Rincon, maybe '03 but not sure.
I'm certain I can make a mount for a disc as there are two small threaded holes on the rear dropout. I think with those and the skewer it would be a pretty solid tripod mounting.
What I'm asking, though, is if anyone knows of a place I could look to see if someone sells a disc mount. I can make one but it would take awhile!
I'll keep looking on t'internet and pop down the lbs next time I get a chance, but thought I would seek a little of the vast knowledge on here!
Just for the record, a pic of the rear dropout.

Thanks for that guys! Have got one off ebay, should b on its way soon
Found a few mixed reviews but I reckon its worth a shot. Even if it needs modifying It's better to have that to start from than to go from scratch!
Have you had any problems with yours Andy, Timmo? Anything I should watch out for?
Thanks again Pete.

no issues at all with the one i had! been on the bike since '04 up until i got the new frame in november! only down side to it was that to take the wheel out i had to remove the squewer (although thinking about it, if i put it in the other way around i would only have to remove the end and pull it through a little!),
for what it does its a great bit of kit! hever had any issues at all with it! lined up fine, bolted up as instructions and that was it! nigh on 4 years with no trouble!Timmo.
