Well, you all nagged me enough that I begrudgingly went to my
garage today.
I DID IT!!!! And I’m coming here for all the accolades because I
HAVE REALLY BEEN THROUGH IT TODAY.
It was like working with one hand tied behind my back. I have no
work stand. I don’t know how to get the rear wheel off. The tire
is in my way but I flat it and find I have just enough room to
work that hex key if I turn the bolt a little at a time. It takes
a coon’s age. I’m doing the job squatting on the garage floor and
reaching around blindly as I try to bolt things I can’t see and
get that bracket folded around that fender, and then I don’t have
the right tools so I’m improvising. The parts start falling off
and getting lost and I put the bracket on backwards, and there’s
a metal shaving embedded in my finger... It was just a lot of
howling out there and taking all your names in vain.
But, I did have help. Your posts, videos, and Joe’s Instagram
advice (because I sent videos of what I did and he pointed out
what I did wrong) have gotten me TWO SOLID FENDERS and I thank
you so much!!!!! It only took me two tries to get the thing to
stop rubbing on the wheel, and I just couldn’t be more thrilled.
Also, I’m never doing that again.
Thanks so much for the encouragement and advice and video
analyzing. Finishing that project was oddly gratifying; and now
if my fender causes a fatal crash we can only blame me. Ha!
Photos, or it didn’t happen.
(Coming in next post because it’s not allowing me to post them
here....)

This also addresses the rear bracket install pretty well.

Starting at 4:30 they give the sequence for rear fender
installation using a bracket. The VO bracket you have is
easily bent to shape, one tab at a time when it is
secired to the seat stay bridge. I have used old
handlebar tape scrap stuck on the underside of the he
bracket and trimmed to fit as a gasket between the fender
and the clip. It helps to eliminate rattles. You apply
the tape before you atache the bracket to the seat stay.
