    1) This is the bar that will support the rack and connect to the rear of the seat post:

    2) I cut out some pieces from a sheet of scrap metal that could be welded to the bar. The "connectors" had little holes in them so that a bolt could be put through:

    3) I test-fitted the connectors on the rear of the bike. I had to do a bit of filing to get them to fit nicely, but that wasn't a problem.

    4) I then put the bar between them to see if the width was about right. It was close, and the welds would easily be able to fill the gaps.
