Is here are some more shots.
Simple zip tie holding the base of the guard into the frame.
Front mount using rim brake adapter, but cut down. I used hook lock originally, but it kept failing. So I now also use an elastic hairband to hold it all together.
Rear mount also uses the newer design rim brake mount that pivots. Gives it added stability, as this is my 2nd rear guard. The first flapped too much and eventually snapped.
Allen key side, I tapped a piece of the axle that had a 4mm hole already in it.
Other side I dropped in a rawl plug, glued with rubberised loctite, then drilled and tapped thr plastic. It goes tight enough that I can undo the thru axle.Up close, you can see some of the hacks I had to make, but it kept me busy whilst I was off the bike with a broken leg and now I'm very happy with it

this is totally awesome.
can you say more about the plug/tap in the axles? and maybe a shot of both the brake bridge and chainstay attachments?
