On my GF's Betty Foy Build, we used a black plastic (nylon?) spacer from Ace Hardware with a button head cap screw, washer, and nut to stabilize the front of the fender to the Mark's Rack. you can see it here<http://www.flickr.com/photos/jayburkhalter/8428856623/>. I'm trying Longboards on my Bleriot <http://www.flickr.com/photos/jayburkhalter/8429127139/>right now with fatter tires than the Schwalbes. I finally spent a few minutes dialing in the fit, and I'm having no rubbing (front or rear) and I haven't bothered with securing the leading edge of the front fender yet either. I put it through the ringer yesterday on some rainy dirt roads and trails, and everything is still in place. we'll see over the long term...
