Mudguards for unconventional fork mounts

Hi,

I have a Boardman Road Comp that I've been using with some clip on guards but they aren't great so looking to switch to a full set for the changing season. The guard mounts on my bike are halfway up the inside of the fork. Are there any guards thay play well with these type of mounts? I note in the link below that some new Boardman bikes are specced with Guards that fit this particular mudguard mount placement but as of yet thay are not being sold seperatley.

Any guidance appreciated. Or am I likely to have to buy a normal set and fiddle around with bwnding?

    I have a London Road that has the same mount points.

    Using SKS Blumels you just have to cut down the stays (I think I had to cut down the rears too).

    Use SKS guards and cut down the stays. Shorter stays make for a stiffer set-up than the usual mounts by dropout. Custom builders will often braze mounts halfway up the forks on top quality tourers such as my Alves. A similar arrangement can also be done for rear guards to shorten the stays, such as mounting them to rear carrier.
