You should be able to fit it with a normal bolt, just email Mason themselves.
On regard to the brake bolt not fitting - dremel.

Soz Ed, I've not got a Mason, that's just as an example of it fitting behind the fork. I've got Kinesis 4S disc.
Might dremel it to fit a brake bolt, was just wondering why SKS would instruct you to fit it behind the fork and not make the slot in the bracket wide enough to do so?
And @withered_preacher, it's not got a hole underneath the crown, that'd make things easier though.

I don't have the bike with me at the mo', no. I offered the front mudguard up to the rim brake mount hole thing front and back, both sides looked like they'd work (this is on a disc brake bike with capability to take rim brakes instead).
The issue is, if I were to be using a rim brake, there's no way I could mount it behind the fork, as the hole in the bracket isn't wide enough for this:
to fit through it.
If I fit it in front, I can have the above brake nut in the back, and an M6 bolt through from the front holding the bracket in place. If I were using rim brakes I'd have to do it like this but with brake bolt instead of M6, right? With disc brakes I either run it like this, or have an even longer bolt running all the way through with a regular nut, washer and the bracket on the back holding it in place. Bit of a messy solution.
