Most torque arms are supplied with a jubilee clip to anchor them to the fork. The problem is that the torque pulls the link in the direction of the fork and the jubilee clip is not stiff enough to resiisist motion in that direction. They can even get ripped right off. Here's a solution. I normally fit the link to the disc caliper mount, but in this case there wasn't enough thread on the axle for the thickness of the torque arm, so I was forced to fix it on the other side. I mashed some aluminium tube flat and made a P- bracket, which makes a rigid anchor point. You can get torque arms from Cyclezee direct or from his Ebay listing. Apparently he's selling a lot of them:
This is the method I normally use if the axle thread is long enough. It works on the front or back wheel. The tie-bar is very hard. You need a 5% cobalt drill to drill it, or you can make your own out of scrap steel, which is easier:
