Hey John! You can use the Mounting Bracket for Trailer Fender # CE26098G to install the CE Smith Single Axle Trailer Fenders # CE19504-2. As for the actual hardware, 3/8" stainless bolts, stainless flat washers, and stainless nylon lock nuts would be my recommendation.

The bracket holes are sized for 3/8" hardware, and that setup will resist vibration and corrosion well. If you already have brackets, a similar setup with appropriately sized hardware will work just as well.

What kind of trailer do you have?

I would simply drill holes in the wheel covers to match corresponding holes on the trailer frame, mount the fenders with stainless steel 3/8 bolts, nuts, washers. Correct? Thanks.

@JohnS not quite. These fenders aren't designed to be bolted directly to the trailer frame, so you'll want to use those mounting brackets (or equivalent supports) attached to the frame, then bolt the fenders to those brackets using 3/8" stainless hardware.
