OK that would be the problem. I grabbed a guard from a parts bin and it did not have spacers or bolts
I'll try this guy out -- they come in silver too which would really add a polished look to the all-black hardware against the dark blue
Thanks

With all due respect, it's possible you either installed the guard wrong, or the guard did not come with the appropriate mounting hardware (extended bolts).
In other words, that Driveline guard (I posted pics of above) does come with the proper bolts and allows you to install it on the OUTSIDE of the chainring... and the chainring is stillin the same exact place it originally was located.. against the outside of the spider.
I have the same guard.... I just took this picture of it to illustrate how it's connected to the spider: Spider > Chainring > spacer > Guard
