I tried that. Didn't work. Even tried the upper hole in the rack for the fenders. Also didn't work. Ended up using the (Tubus) spacers and put the fenders on the lower eyelets. The fender line is not perfect. But the biggest problem was the upper nut hitting the rack strut. Worked out by canting the rack slightly forward. See this photo: http://tinyurl.com/mlsx9u (A couple other shots were taken on the ride tonight with the new setup.)
Thanks everyone for the suggestions. Now to get this bike out for a longer ride.
