You can avoid the special order issue by substituting a typical fender draruma (eyelet bolt) for the same purpose. Granted, that Honjo piece is not only nice looking but (somewhat) better designed as a block to act as a spacer -- but I've used this method of repurposing the fender hardware piece with no problem whatsoever.
I've also used the Honjo "L" brackets -- they look nice but are too fussy in my mind. Particularly with having to drill two holes into the fender and then loosing a little precious vertical space to the two bolt heads as they bump up against the brake bolt. The daruma/eyelet idea at least lets you snug the fender up as tight to the bridge as possible, anyway.
