I don't know the distance of the nut to the brake track and unfortunately the bike is stored at my MIL's house. I can measure it in a few weeks. There was plenty of room for 28mm tires and fenders.
I don't remember the price I paid when I bought them well over a decade ago. IIRC it close to Paul's retail price from a seller on ebay.
Thanks for the comp
