I used the little draw bolts that come with SKS, and many other, fenders.The holes in the Wald fenders are a bit too small to fit the SKS draw bolts, so I drilled them out the tiniest bit. I then bent the stays to fit up inside the fender to slip through the hole in the draw bolt. Radius-ing the stays was the hardest part.
All of the hardware, including the fenders, was fished out of the bins at my local bike co-op. If I was paying retail I don't know that I'd choose the Walds. They're chrome plated steel, instead of aluminum or stainless, and you're looking at ~$38 for them, plus another $20 worth of SKS hardware. For $58 you're knocking on the door of the $75 Gilles Berthoud stainless items
