It's a recessed nut, so would have required washers etc. and the bracket still would have fouled the headset in exactly the same way unless it was spaced out a really long way.
In terms of the clearance being tight, I mainly meant that the mudguard itself is slightly wider than the gap between the fork blades, so it's squeezed a bit to fit in, and the brake to rim drop is small for a bike designed to take full mudguards.
All workable though, I'm really happy with the setup.
