Spent some time thinking about that while riding along yesterday, looking at it...
You're correct; I could move the L-bracket from the back to the front, it appears that that would align the front of the fender w/ one of the rack's cross-bars; however, it would still be short, I would still need to come up w/ an extension from that cross-bar forward anyway; but, it would also raise the back/bottom of the fender, where I'd rather keep it down where it is. So, I think I'll keep the L on the back, and just come up w/ an extension that goes from further back...
