What do they actually look like. Think the HDI could do with rears/a set.

All I ever saw of the fittings for my OEM mudflaps was them exiting stage left into a field mid-corner.
Custom roll cages/shiny suspension bits/general fabrication work undertaken, PM me.
Top engine mount repair/reinforcement/chocking for cracked chassis and high powered cars, drive in, drive out, 2 hour turnaround.

Front or Rear?
Rears I believe they 'clamp' to the arch lip.
Fronts, arch lip and sill seam flanges.
It goes, it stops (as reqd).

have you a pic of the flap?
essentially, there's one bit fixed to the rubber, another curved bit does the clamping.
I think the bolt with a washer passes thro' the rubber into the curved bit.
if you pinch your thumb & finger together, it should look similar.
