The back block has a plastic tab made from the cover of a 3 ring binder. That tab fits under the end of the rack and the front is held down with the bungies. The rubber is just some old inner tube so the the paint won't get chafed. Works great.
This is a terrific set up. I normally use panniers, but sometimes want the ease of a milk crate. I've been looking for a secure way to attach mine that would also be quick to put on and take off. I'll give this a try.
