These have to be clipped in from the rear so, as the OP says it is an enclosed box section they will not be suitable.
racks for audio gear etc use these. A music shop might have them, You can buy stainless and no doubt Amazon have them.
just make sure that the metal around the hole is ok.
As long as it is secure and cannot foul any moving parts then Mr MOT man wont be in the least bit bothered by it.Not sure if Mr MOT man would be impressed but you could use a cable tie- poke an end through the round hole, pick it up in the rectangular hole with long-nose pliers, feed through placcie thing and bracket, pull tight.
And yes do something with that rust patch even if its only wire brush and Hammerite
Wasn't sure about that given its a part of the braking system...
