If it worked the resulting guards should be very light, very stiff and - crucially- very thin.
I guess you could potentially make it a lot thinner under the fork crown. Which I'm guessing is the main place it needs to be thin.
If you have some sort of support/mount on both sides of the brake caliper then I'd guess it would need next to no strength in that section... But that would be for a rim brake.
How would you* fix it to the underside of the fork crown on a carbon disc fork?
*or did you on the TM?

I've got the tools to make a former out of wood pretty easily, my thinking was that I could then make a mould from plaster of paris.
Release agent into the mould, twill and resin, then use the former to press it into shape whilst the resin goes off.
Sound about right?
