There used to be machined contact plugs (Augat, others) that had small diameter pins on both top and bottom of the green plastic substrate. I believe the pins were small enough to plug into a socket.
Actually, you could get single row strips of such pins now. Just find them at Samtec and request samples. Samtec is awesome and is quick (a few days for samples). I use them in many production products.

Would this help:??
A dissolveable IC socket.?? I do remember seeing somewhere a carrier of sorts that has just the pins. So, you can solder either side and then remove the carrier.
In this case, you could put the socket on an IC,?? dissolve it away.?? Solder on either side and remove the IC.?? You could then use the item pictured, I think.

What I am looking for is something to allow a single sided PCB to be plugged into a DIL IC socket and have the tracks on the lower side.
The following links look almost right, but AFAICT they can only work on a DS PCB with plated holes (I just want to use single sided 0.1" strip-board for this).

I'm sure something suitable must exist ...

Dave, have you got any old wire wrap IC sockets? I have used them in the past for exactly this purpose, but I have to be careful which type of DIL socket I use on the MB as the pins are square for wire wrap and bigger than a standard IC pin. I solder them to the daughter board but leave the full length of pin to push into the MB socket. It is a fixed height above the MB.
Geoff.
