If I had that rack, I would drill a hole horizontally through the center of the rear, where the two aluminum rods are welded to eachother, and then I'd just bolt up Planet Bike's rack bracket and plop a BRT-5 in there. The BRT-5 is not only a blinkie, but a legit reflector as well, and it comes with the rack bracket nowdays.
While we're on the topic: I ran into a rack that uses the common metal plate down the middle, and the owner wanted a SuperFlash mounted on it, but there were no holes/brackets/fittings. Solution: I drilled a hole in the metal top plate, then drilled a hole in a piece of wooden dowel that was approximately seatpost-sized, and bolted the dowel vertically to the underside of the metal plate. Then I just mounted the SuperFlash on the dowel, using the seatpost mount.
