Look really closely at the images and you will see where the mount comes from the rear of the brake, passes under it, and then rises to meet the fender.
Thanks for posting the pics and stuff, but - thinking about it, I just feel like "if I had the clearance between the tire and the brake to pass a thin piece of metal through, wouldn't it be easier to just pass a fender through there?
Or did you have a different purpose, like needing to put a fender on a bike that can fit it but doesn't have fender mounts?
I know on my cheaper road bike that I've been entertaining putting fenders on, the brake has slightly *less* clearance than the fork. I think it's designed this way deliberately so that if you put to large of a tire on the carbon fiber fork won't get damaged. But whatever the reason, room between the brake and the tire is the biggest obstacle to fenders...
(And before anyone suggests it, I already have the clip-on kind, just been wondering about fuller coverage fenders)
