Cheers, yeah I'm fine with the eyelets on the inside of the fork. One good bend in the stays and I'll be sorted.
I'm not sure I get what you mean with regards to only going through half the crown. If I am following what you're saying, the steerer isn't open at the bottom, so I guess whatever bolt I used would have to come through the full length of the fork rather than just going from the middle of the fork to the back...
Bit of a shame there's no hole vertically straight up into the fork crown to screw the mudguard directly into the fork (with maybe a spacer or something).

You have mid-blade eyelets - fit the stays to those and they'll be well clear of the callipers. A little bit of bending will be needed at the ends (so the angle of the stays matches the mounts on the guard itself , but it can look very good with little effort.
It also looks like your steerer is open at the bottom - you could try and bolt only through half the crown? An allen key should fit through from the front which avoids having to fit a spanner in while you tighten. I don't think there's a way to have the bolt flush at the front though, sorry.
