What's wrong with mounting both the rack and fenders on one set of
eyelets? People do it all the time, you just need longer bolts. And
yes, they are strong enough; they're made to take that kind of load.

Howdy folks,
Trying to figure out the best way to get a rear rack on the Ram. It's
blue and only has one set of eyelets on the dropouts, which are
currently occupied by my fenders. I've been nervous to set up a rear
rack with p-clamps because I know, inevitably, I will want to put
panniers on it and I'm nervous about the weight, but realized I don't
actually know which is stronger: connecting to the braze-ons or p-clamps.
Primarily I'd use the rack as support for my Carradice Nelson
longflap, but could end up in a position of needing to put a pannier
or two on it if I was commuting in inclement weather or embarking on a
weekend tour.
There are a few frame builders here in town I know could add new
braze-ons for not too much $, but I don't want to go down that road
unless I have to since it's considerably more permanent of an option.
