Putting the finishing touches on. But the guard seems like it’s riding a little high. It could be my imagination but it looks a bit off. Not sure how I can bring it down with the supports being fixed to the guard. Anybody out there with a bike like this have a tape measure handy? Looking for the distance between guard height and cranks in the vertical position.

Does this help?

Also you may have fitted the chainring the wrong way... just compare to original pictures...
Not that it would really matter

I don't know if that would change anything or not. I thought that i had put it back the way it was removed but wouldn't surprise me if it was wrong. The ring has some grooves from contact with frame(?) so i assumed it was in the right position I was wondering if the spot welded brackets were different positions on the guard for frames with straight down tubes vs. the curved tube. - and if so could this guard be incorrect?

Yerps!

It looks like this one is all my fault John....

2nd pic shows the higher mounting. I did not realize one I had was different. At least it's only a couple of spotwelds.
