+1 I Since there is a lot of thread showing on the bolt attaching the rear brake, I suggest a second nut before the fender to hold the brake (and reflecter) on tight, then use this nut to only hold the fender. Bike looks great!

Thank you.
I think we are halfway to the ideal setup to allow good fender mounting, good reflector mounting, and proper brake function...
Starting from the brake bridge and moving along the brake bolt I think you should have...
*a convex washer, similar to the one between the brake and the brake bridge, will allow you to get maximum clamping force around the brake bridge. A bike co-op or bike shop will likely have a convex washer if you can't find one.
