Mudguards for disk brake bike

Hi all, I'm looking for some recommendations for a set of full length mudguards for a Felt F65X bike with seat stay mounted disk brakes.
I'm having trouble finding something that will fit, two points to note:
1. The disk brakes are seat stay mounted, so block access to the mudguard mounts for conventional mudguards
2. The short strut between the two seat stays neat the top has a mudguard mounting hole going from top to bottom, i.e. 90 degrees rotated compared to the usual mounts on rear mudguards which have a vertical attachment point (reference for typical mudguards)
i have looked on several of my favourite bike websites, but I haven't been able to find anything that I think will actually fit.

With point 1, something like this could do the job?

On point 2, I had the same issue as you. What I did was drill out the mount which left a hole big enough for a bolt to go through and then screw into the mounting hole. I also sued some spacers between the mounting hole and the guard.
It's not a particularly elegant solution but it works.0 -
Mount the mudguard stays on the inside of the frame. There's plenty of room.0
