Attached to the towbar

Simply used some 20x20 tubing to attach the flaps, then bolted the tubing to the towbar

Here's a pic of my flaps setup where I got the local steel fab shop to fold me up a 100 X 6 mm bracket and drill it for the towball which holds my 38 x 25 mm fence rail which you'll find is as cheap as any bar because it's high volume stuff. Bracket cost me $30 cash and they even cold galved it and as I recall a 2.4 M length of gal tubing (you only need about 1.8M) was around $16 from Bunnings. The flaps were HD fabric reinforced from Clark Rubber-  450mm off a 1.2M roll and cut in 2, as I found any decent HD mudflaps weren't particularly cheap.

Edit: Just a tip. You can't let your flaps touch the gravel whereas I was happy to let the road saw mine off to wherever because of the poly tarp final stone proofer. They do lift up with road speed naturally.
There's no Great Evil conspiracy against consumers within engineering, manufacturing and supply. Just the many tradeoffs incurred to satisfy diverse tastes, priorities and wallets. But first comes all the insatiable Gummint eggsperts, nanny-staters and usual suspects.
