Easiest way has to be to stick/bond them onto the brackets using silkaflex or similar.

I used Evostics "Sticks Like S++t" and once set glassed over the brackets, absolutely no chance of it coming off then. HTH Ray
To make a car go faster, just add lightness. Colin Chapman - OR - fit a bigger engine. Chippy

Bend some 25x 3 mm strip to fit the shape of the inner arch , Drill and tap a 6mm hole in the center , fit to the wheel arch brackets and the clean
the inside of the arch , cover the strip with a good dose of Sikaflex and place the arch in place , use clamps and leave for 24 hrs. Worked with my
original fibre glass archs but not with carbon fibre

I made some ally brackets (Z cross sectio) that I glassed to the inside of the arch. Then drilled and tapped the support and screwd the arch to it..
If I need to replace the arch I just unscrew it.
Not driven it yet so don't know if they will stay on but I have walked into them enough times and my shins came off second best.

Another vote for Tigerseal - incredible sticking power, they haven't pulled off at 120 mph yet! I also coated the inside of the arches with
CBS's own 'wunderseal' - it is supposed to prevent internal stone chipping - I suppose it does, as it is a rubberry texture.
