Gernot, the thing about those recessed nuts is, they go into the back of the fork, so you need a 8mm in the back of the fork, if yours is only 6mm its no problem to drill it to 8mm. I had to cut off a lot of that bolt so i'm quite shure it should fit. When using the Sheldon nut that fender tab is behind the nut, so it's not in the bill. But if you don`t plan to put off the fenders on a regular base i'd use one of these http://www.velo-orange.com/hodabofcreye.html and a normal recessed brakenut (M6) it makes for a cleaner look and the fender sits higher so you have more space for the tire (or mud). But after all i really don't think that you should have any problems with a normal Brakehanger in that configuration, if the bow is to tight you could use a V-Brake noodle or NOKON Cable Housings. On a cyclocross bike with A-Headstem you have much less space between stem and cable hanger than on you bike, for example, have a look at Marks own bike http://adventurecorps.smugmug.com/Rough-Riders-Multi-Surface/Rough-Riding-with-Rivendells/9519734_SbvMC/1/639633898_y6WYd#639630171_QymhD-O-LB
