<blushing>Gosh, thank you.</blushing>
The fenders on the Frank Jones were particularly difficult, I think I spent about 6 hours mounting them. There is less clearance under the fork crown than on the brake bridge. I had some NOS Gran Compe 610 centerpull brakes that I originally intended to use. The brakes worked on the front, but could not reach on the back. Took some precision work with some blocks of wood and mallet to get the front fender dented just right to clear the fork crown and front brake. For the rear, I trimmed down a stainless metal bracket that would normally clamp around the outside of the fender. Cut a slot through the top of the fender and used some industrial adhesive.
