here's a recent one for me. wanted full fenders but also 2.1 knobbies. fork disagreed. alas the front fender got the saw. there are two keys to hacking fenders. first is maintaining two mounting points each (front mounted to rack) for both sides of hacked fender. second is keeping the rolled edges to maintain rigidity.
Is the mudguard chopped entirely in two or do you have a small amount remaining under the crown?
If entirely in two, you've maintained the curve really well
