^^ I bolted mine to the rear of the fork where there's a thread provided. It does kick the mudgaurd out a bit so you'll have to trim the stays. For this I used a pair of heavy duty cutters(snap on) borrowed from a mechanic friend. Stainless is a nightmare to cut using a hacksaw unless you have the right blade.
The rear one I fitted without drilling, then removed the wheel to line up where to drill. If you don't have a drill you'd probably get away with heating a nail or screw up on the gas and melting a hole through.
It was definatley worth the hassle. Mudgaurds are a must in the uk for at least 6 months a year. I fitted mine last winter and haven't taken them off since
