Tubus makes an adapter that will allow you to attach the stays at the front of the rack to the rear brake bridge. With this setup you will not need p-clamps on the seat stays. I also believe that Tubus makes an adapter that adds an extra eyelet to your chain stay. Call Wayne at TheTouringStore.com. He knows all about making a rack fit your bike.
