For the original post, the fenders would look much better if they
followed the curve of the wheels more.  For the rear one, could raise
the part under the brake and put a little more space between the
chainstay bridge and the fender.  Then just move the fenders down the
supports closer to the wheels.  I have installed the SKS on AHH (for
the rainy season, N. Cal).  It took some fussing, but they look a lot
better than in the link by the original poster.  That said, the SKS
does not follow perfectly the curve of the wheel, especially where it
is unstayed at the front of the front fender and at the rear of the
rear fender.  It looks pretty good, though.

One thing I think I figured out is that the fender nut (Sheldon nut)
is not really necessary.  The front fender installs fine in front of
the fork between the brake and the fork crown, and the rear fender
installs fine behind the seatstay bridge (between the brake and the
seatstay bridge).  I guess for taking the fenders on and off it would
be a little more straightforward with the fender nuts, but the
majority of the work involves fussing around with the spacing.  Also,
I noticed there was locktite on the front brake bolt, so this will
have to either be re-applied or watched very closely for loosening.
