First & foremost, I want to openly admit that I'm not terribly familiar with tools, mechanical stuff, and the like... hell, back in high school I enrolled myself in woods class my sophomore year and on day 2 the principal took me out of it & moved me into computer programming ("you're smart, you belong in a more challenging, intellectual class... you're now in programming with the juniors"... since then I never went back & learned all those basic skills/terms/know-hows that I could certainly use now)

That said... I'm in the process of installing SKS Chromoplastics fenders on my 2010 Specialized Crosstrail, and I've come to a little bit of a roadblock. I got the rear fender installed & all figured out, and for the most part I understand what needs to be done for the front fender, but there are only mounting holes for a fender stay on one side of my fork... there's actually 2 mounting holes on that one side (to confuse & infuriate me I'm sure) and none on the other.

How can I mount a front fender stay to the side of the fork that has no mounting holes for it? Surely there must be some kind of clamp or something I can buy that won't look too tacky and will be safe & reliable... right?

*edit* After doing more searching with some different terms... I'm seeing something called a p-clamp... is that what I need? It looks right- I can visualize how exact & easy a solution it seems that would be... but is it really that simple (a p-clamp around the fork & the stay bolted to the clamp)??? Then again, the fork isn't round at the bottom... one side is rounded & the other is flat so do I need to look for a p-clamp, a specific kind of clamp, or something entirely different?
