I remember messing with that bridge piece when I installed a set of of ESGE (now SKS) fenders in the 80s. They still do it that way? I really don't recall it being a big deal. I've installed 4-5 sets of fenders of different manufacturers over the past few years and can't say that any of them were a piece of cake. To do the job right, you really need to plan it expecting that you will run into a few hitches.
