Excellent. Thank you very much for that information. Will be running to the hardware store this weekend! Again thank you!!!!
Not endorsing this specific rack but it was the cheapest I found and claims to be heavy duty. So for a few bucks you now got a grocery getter. Once I install everything I'll update. Hers the link to the rack on eBay but I would go thru Ebates to start getting money back.

Better ones have good vinyl coating and they wrap around your seat stay and have a nut&bolt for attaching to the rack supports. The second is a clamp around your seat post that has threaded holes for the rack bolts. Here's one example (be sure to check the seat post size):
