Default Sam James Wheel Pants Bracket help

OK - I give up. I have spent the better part of the day trying to figure out how to mount Sam Jame's wheel pants bracket on my 7a. Has anyone installed Sam James wheel pants and could either answer some questions or post some pictures? I have already searched the forums - no luck.

For the main gear there appears to be just one bracket which Sam provides a template for. I am not sure of the orientation of the bracket or where/how it attaches to the pants. The photos he provides do not show how it attaches either to the gear or the pants, the orientation or the direction of the 45 degree bends.

For the nose gear there is not any mention of a bracket. Should I use Van's bracket?

Any help would be GREATLY appreciated!

The closer I get the farther it seems I have to go!
