These look like a solid option. I think I'll swing by my LBS to see if they sell anything similar or have other suggestions.
That looks like an SKS designed answer incorporating the River City concept if not their hardware. (The River City brackets mean you can simply use the fenders you have. Granted, the saw cut you take to them is permanent.) My bike, Jessica J (pictured in my avatar photo) has my home made version of the River City rear bracket. It has the additional challenge of needing clearance for a full 2 inches of wheel fore and aft to accommodate the fix gear hub travel so stiffness was a much bigger issue. My rearmost bracket is a hunk of stiff steel!
