This bike has canti brakes and a bottom threaded seat stay bridge, you can kind of see it in the last picture in this set: http://gallery.me.com/mhechmer#100029
Since the crack is still quite small I have been thinking along the lines that John suggested, using either a small steel bracket on either side of the hole, or perhaps cutting a section out of the original fender. In either case I'll try Gorilla glue to avoid making any additional holes in the fender. My daughter is getting married on Saturday, so this might not happen right away.
