My roadbike has the PB blinky on that rack mount, and I'd planned on putting that light onto this bike and taking the rack off my road bike. I bet a P-clamp would work for securing that bracket to this rack.
Yeah, I do like the way these racks look matched with the bike, and they're way more sturdy than I thought they'd be, but the paint isn't very good quality, and is already chipping in some places. When I get new ones I'll get some nice shiny chrome and wood Velo Orange style ones. Hmmm, maybe if I set up the P-clamps right I could get some of the Soma "silver bullet" rear lights to work - those look sweet.
ETA:
I am planning on getting a Banjo Bros. rack-top bag (http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00...=ATVPDKIKX0DER) which has a loop to clip lights too, but I've had lights bounce off saddle bag loops like that here because of the rough roads.
Several people who have experienced their lights going MIA end up using a rubber band or an elastic hair band to compress the light body. You just have to ensure that you're not covering the LED(s).
