P-clips are the more common way to go than the hanger fittings shown by the OP, but whatever works, right? Looks solid, and I like the front fender drop-hanger solution. It's similar to what I've done on my Cross Check turned commuter, to get a clean fender line with 32mm tires (since it can clear a big-ol pair of 45s). I used a piece of strip steel from the hardware store, chopped it down to size with a Dremel and drilled mounting holes to attach it at the fender bracket and the fork crown. Gotta do what ya gotta do, sometimes.
