Can you put the fender mount on behind the brakes, between the brakes and the fork crown?

You use the same bolt for the brakes and fender as Joe mentioned. Maybe a nit, but on mine a suttle point I noticed in the picture was that the tab on the fender was shown behind the fork crown.

the bolt for the brakes does not pass all the way through the fork, it is secured from the back side with a hex that will not pass through the tab of the fender.....

The fender attachment goes on the other side, the front of the fork.

thank you, i eventually figured it out. my only excuse is that i'd not had dinner yet, i felt like an idiot.
but they are on now, i'll adjust them tomorrow, they look sweeet.
