Another option might be to fit 13" wheels for the SVA.

surely with 13" wheels it would be too far down at the back i.e. more than halfway?

I just used carpet glued to the back of my cycle wings - to act as mud flaps, and also to make the rear of the wheel rim get covered by the arch.
no SVA problems with mr sva that way.
Hope to help

You might not believe this but 13" wheels will have the centre in the same place as a 15", so if it's below the centre of a
15" it will be below the centre of a 13" .
DO NOT PUT ON KNOB OR BOLLOCKS!

It's supposed to be, it just shouldn't be higher than the centre at the rear.

I went into the RSPCA office the other day. It was so small you could hardly swing a cat in there.

I watched the SVA man check my wheels - rough summary is:
1. Drop a line from the front of the mudguard - must be in front of the wheel rim.
2. Drop a line from the back of the mudguard - must clear the wheel & tyre completely.
3. Drop a line from the outer side of the mudguard - must clear the wheel rim.
He used more technology - number 3 is physically impossible because of the tyre - but it explains the principle. He used a big set-square and a
ruler, on a flat floor.
rgds,
David
