Benefits -- No Glue or epoxy to screw with. Ready the same Day, Removable, will not shake loose.

Step 1 - Buy the parts I recommended
Step 2 - Get your tire and mark center then measure where you want the fender strut to contact, I recommend dam I forgot.
Step 3 - Drill M12 Through holes into strut, remember the metal rod is on the outside, and the bolts point in.
Step 4 - Locate the strut again the marks on your tire and use a marker (Silver) to mark 1 hole on the upright - Top hole Do for both sides.
Step 5 - Drill and tap that hole, then fix your strut to upright, reattach the tire and double check your position then mark the bottom hole, doing it this way allows you get some time to check clearance. It should be pretty tight 1/4 inch clearance is ok.
Step 6 - Drill and tap the bottom hole in the upright. Re-attach and check clearance and bend it if you want to make final adjustment.
Step 7 - Cut square holes into the fender, this may be harder because if you line it up it may be off a bit so take your time and cut it several times first .
Step 8 - With the fender on the struts place one center hole carefully through the strut from the inside out, no tire obviously. Use the tap drill bit. Then Place the fender on and drill through that. Take the Tap and drill and slowly tap through the inside of the strut, it will exit the hole on the top you just made of the fender. Then put one bolt in. Congratulations, you have to do this five more times.
Step 9 - After all holes are drilled and tapped, get the rubber strip "HIGH-TEMPERATURE RUBBER SEAL SURFACE MOUNT, " and put that between the fender and the strut and drill through that with the tap.
Step 10 - Re-screw in all the cap screws and finish the job. The rubber provides back force so do not need thread locker. But use if you want.

Oh double check your angle when you drill because it should be angled so when the cap screw is down it is flush with the fender. That means the angle may be slightly different than the strut plain.

Oh don't make fun of my quality it is 41C in my dam garage.
