When I first installed fenders on my Model D, I had to deal with horizontal dropouts, and didn't. I just let the bolt pull the steel fender forward. Later, to clean things up, I used a long bolt, but drilled, cut, and sliced a rubber cork (the type chemists use in flasks) for a snug fit over a long then bolt, which I terminated with a nylock nut (washers at both ends). The cork was a removable spacer. It kept the fender snugly where it made a good line, but if I needed to remove the rear wheel, I could pull it off the bolt, and slide the bolt through the bridge to allow the fender enough room to flex and allow the wheel out.
