Thanks guys,
I was talking to John today and he figured out the problem. I have the bottom (black nut) set too low. The bottom of spring to the silver washer was 80mm. Need to be about 110mm. This will put the purple locking nuts up higher and awayfrom the tyre. Problem solved (will confirm tomorrow). Thanks John! :beer
With it set at 80mm the guard is level with the top of the tyre or slightly below when the car is on car stands, if it was on the ground and the springs compressed, the tyre would probably be another 40mm up inside the guard. (Too low)
More preload on the spring wont help this problem.
