Nicky, when I have to fit those pigging brackets I found it better to leave the track coupled, I then slide them along a bulk of timber to get them about the right spot, then ether wedge or clamp upto the underside of the fender, then stuff the bolts in, some of those brackets were welded on as not all D8 frames are drilled and threaded ready for them, its a job best done by yourself so you dont get silly offers of help as you struggle, and wear gloves, (they soak up the blood), the hard bit to get sorted is the heavy back plate if it needs drilling for winch control rods, also dont do any bolts up tight until all the bolts are in place.
