Pdlamb made a point that I should comment on when he said cut the stays.
Some of my fenders have been installed on more than one bike, I was happy when I installed them on a second or third bike that I had left some extra stay.
A friend of mine bought a new trike a couple years ago. I do not know if the dealer or manufacturer cut the stays on his rear fender, but they cut the stays so short that he could not fit a bigger tire.
The few times that I cut the stays, they needed to be cut for a reason.

Thanks, I need a good laugh. Unfortunate that it was at your expense in your description of fitting VO fenders.
