Velo Orange Fenders
I know you guys are all really smart and hoping someone has experience with these fenders so wanted to ask about installing them. I've found a pair on FB market at a really good price but the seller doesn't have the hardware. Are they standardized enough that I could use the same hardware that I used to install my EVO fenders or is it more custom?
I've read that they are tricky to install at the best of times and not having the hardware might make it too difficult..

Below is a picture of the hardware that comes with VO fenders. I would find out exactly what pieces are missing and see what it costs to replace them:

That's what I had read on most of the reviews on their website so I thought, without the provided hardware might be next to impossible to install. They were priced very well though so someone else didn't hesitate and they were probably gone before I even created this post.

Velo Orange has this instructional video for installing their fenders:
