That info. is in the Accesory Installation Manual.Available from the Filling Station , #ACC-53 for $8.00.A good manual to have.

The bracket goes on the side closest to the door. It should go right above the crease. Just fit the bracket behind the lip and slide it down till it stops at the crease. The other side toward the trunk just gets a slot cut in the wheel well lip. I only know this because I recently replaced both rear doglegs and rocker ends on my 54 and had to remount my hardware. Hope this helps.

Sorry it took me so long to post again. I finally got out to look her over and there are only the two tabs on the top of the fender skirt to stop it from falling forward. So all you need are the mounting tabs to be on the skirt. When the skirt is drawn up tight it stays in place
