I based my version of the rear small basket 3-1/2" rear-ward relocation on this idea.
I used 3/4" x 1/8" X 13-1/2" aluminum instead of 1" wide material and stainless steel (SS) 5mm fasteners, four SS 5mm lock nuts. I had all of these items other project.
I drilled a 5mm hole in each of the small basket rectangular bottom members. These new holes in the small basket were aligned with the existing rearward threaded holes on the bike rack.
The bike rack original forward threaded holes were used to secure the 3/4" aluminum to the rack.
The original 4 holes in small basket bottom members were used attach the basket to the new aluminum pieces. I used 5mm stainless cap head steel bolts and nylon lock nuts.
The two aluminum pieces were painted black before installation.
