Do you have your stock hardware? I would think the stock brackets would work.. IF not maybe try calling maier?

I bought new plastic for mine not that long ago. Basically the only hardware that comes with the plastic is the bolts. The front fender brace may require a little tweaking, I know mine did. But seriously, even when you order new plastic from Maier, the only thing that's included is the bolts and some washers.

do you have a pic of how your plastic is mounted?

Don't have a pic, but I can say that on the stock support bracket, there's like a couple of pieces that like stick up and cause the fender to not rest perfectly. I just hacked them off. They kinda stick out to the front and up. They can cause the actual fender supports to not line up.

Here's about the easiest way to show you.
The blue circles are the actual supports for the fender.
The yellow circles are the bushings where the bracket bolts to the frame.
The red is where you will need to cut.
After you do this, you may need to use some pressure to get the holes to line up, but it should work. This is pretty much exactly how I got mine to fit.

ok thanks so i just drill through the fender support and use a nut and bolt and hack off the old mounts?

Shouldn't need to do any drilling. At least I know I didn't have to. The places on the pic that I circled in blue should already have holes in them for the fenders.
