I agree that the Riv solution works well, since I've successfully used this
method on a bike with no eyelets. But why pay $11 for a pair of heavy duty
band clamps when much cheaper P-clamps ($2/pair) do the same thing and cost
a fraction?
Here's how I used P-clamps to secure SKS fenders:
Not perfect, but finishes up the fender coverage. The whole fender set
comes off the bike in seconds, and only takes a couple of minutes to

The Tubus p-clamps are stainless. (#3 on Wayne's page
http://www.thetouringstore.com/TUBUS/Fit%20Solutions/FIT%20SOLUTIONS%20PAGE.htm).
Their 2-bolt design is far superior; you separately secure the clamp to the
bike, and the rack to the clamp.
I added rubber and tape shims to protect the stays.

I currently use a plastic clamp salvaged from a reflector for the chainstay

replace it with a 2-bolt Tubus clamp next time I remove/replace the
