thanks for the feedback but I don't have any elastic cord to use with the ring. There is no S hook. What are these for? Am I missing a piece?
Also any particular use for these two rings?

You might look into getting a replacement kit from Arkel or Ortlieb as way of upgrading that mounting system.
*I have the same mounting hardware on some old Nashbar Townie baskets- and a hard enough bump or heel strike can cause the bag to bounce off the rack.
