I just got these fenders as well. I didn't notice the "indentation" as being out of place but I will check again tonight and report back for you.

Are you using the crown fork daruma to mount the fender? If so, how are you placing the rubber bushing? I have it between the top of the fender and the fork and the large flat washer undernearth the fender, behind one of the leather washers. Seems like the best way to absorb vibrations, prevent rattling. Is this correct?
