Hi. Mudguards arrived yesterday. Look like they should be ok but need to get some brake bolts so I can attach them to the frame. How did you make an extension as ill be running a front rack as well?

Rectangular sheet of metal with two holes:) around 3.5cm
not taking credit as LBS did it; I have no means of cutting metal at home. And should probably call it a "bracket"
saw a "nicer looking" solution in an online shop - kind of a tube with holes through it each centimetre or so (so can be adjusted anytime). goes inside the fork crown I understand.
can't find it now, it's that odd thing you see sometimes and dismiss quickly.Edit: 'ere ya go http://problemsolversbike.com/products/fender_flute/

Had to cut the stays a bit to get both front and rear closer to the tyres. Also a little extension under the fork for same reason but mainly to allow front rack/basket.
