In my experience, the "long bolt" problem is theoretical rather than
practical. BTW you can also mount the plastic outside of the rack,
couldn't you? In any case, make sure your bolts are sufficiently long to
fill out the brazeon completely. If there is room between brazeon and
spokes (which I presume) you could even go for the supersafe route and
use an extra-long bolt with a nut on it. Can't beat that for security.
