Ended up using some Dorman 13400 hose clamps I found at Autozone, but they tend to deform because they are not spring steel, like OE. Pretty sad, this imported crap.
I didn't find the need for an L-bracket. The heavy end rests on the fender skirt and follows its slope.
[But, I totally agree on Imported Crap.]
