Fwiw, that hole is a little vulnerable to cracking/damage from rattling so centre punch, then sharp drill, loctite on the bolt and then you can get a reinforcing plate to go inside the mudguard, works a treat. Sorry to teach you to suck eggs!
This is greatly appreciated and helpful! I may spanner my bikes but the state of my floor vice is a great indicator of my general workshop skills :)

Ah yeah, those bikes are definitely designed for drilled guards, and they look so much neater too. No bright silver clamp standing out against black mudguard.
