Kevin, I'm in transit right now but can write up something when I get into my lab. I just installed SKSs this past weekend. One question though: what size fenders did you order? I used P45s on my 650B bike with new SOMA B-line tires. They are ~36mm wide and the clearance is about as tight as I would want them. Maybe 4-5mm at some points.
