Planedev:

More to the point. thats how Tamiya mounts theirs as well - the shields butt up to the fender, and bolt to brackets that are attached to the fender. I could mount mine, and show a thread in place as it should be used, if Britishtankman wants that.

Britishtankman: you want me to show ya how to hold the thread or blade when ya cut, just ask, and I'll put a pic up here.
