Update: I put an extension on the original but I wasn't happy with how long it was for mud coverage so I dropped a note on the local FB neighborhood group to see if I could scavenge up a now-useless campaign sign in the 3-foot range. No one offered up anything but a local guy did have access to coroplast at work and cut me a couple of 3-foot by 6-inch pieces. I used a heat gun to get a nice bend in it. While the old one was off I removed the clamp and springs from the rack as I'll never use them with the fender on there. Now it repels all the snow and mud the rear wheel can throw and uses less than half the zip-ties of the first version.
