Looks neato! So:
1) if you have SKS guards they supply some serrated plastic washers that are great for tricky angles as they have some flex. I imagine SJS cycles will have some, if not holler and I’ll post you a few.
2) just like Velo Orange/Honjo/Berthoud I think you should be fine to drill through the guard and bolt through with a spacer in between. I think @pish has done something similar.
3) maybe with an M5 bolt for future-proofing/accommodating a dynamo light attachment? -
Looks great, which Exposure light mount is that? I fudged one onto the stay mount but would prefer it higher up and less exposed like yours.

For the misaligned CS bridge/washer issue, I'd use cup+cone/CS washers from V-brake pads in that situation. They'll bridge the gap nicely.

Winter is coming and want to tune the Faran to be more winter road bike. 35c tyres are fitted and some nice metal PDW guards arrived to wrap around them.
For a moment, I was genuinely excited to be fitting these. Have only worked with SKS plastics, many fond memories screaming at the fiddly stays and all the cutting required, the best of times.
These look neat and the little cartoon booklet eased the mind.
Somewhat short lived, there is a lot to like but on the rear of the Faran, they are close but no cigar. To avoid turning to the dark side and breaking stuff, they are on but there are questions and a round 2 is needed.
'1. Not flush at the bottom, I could file a thick plastic washer to an angle or are there other washer options for guards? Maybe this is OK?
'2. Borrowed a floor vice from the spiders and applied some bendinium to the stock hanger but it doesn't work, can't access the bolt to get the fit right.
Would you create something with some drilium and washers which would look very neat but is there a risk of cracking? Suck it up and buy the official part?

'3. If i'm performing some drillium, seems a nice to place to stick an Exposure light mount?
