Yes, the Evans 'baseball bat' guard had me skeptical, but consider me a believer.That moon disc ties in the chain guard, or the chain guard ties in the moon disc, I can't decide.
I just double checked my receipt to make sure it didn't say sex bolts and jam nuts
Man, those Moon disc's really are going to top that off with some real flash.These are what I meant by sex bolts. It is what you use to squeeze the moon discs on the rim.
The jam nuts was bigger than I needed, so I settled for a washer on one side to give the needed clearance between the fork and the moon disc.

As I expected with this wide wheelset, I ran into issues with the mooneyes. I even searched back in @marshall hudson 's Rollin Bones build a few years ago to refresh my memory of his moon disc issues.
You can see here that the rear disc has one that is flatter that the others. This is meant for the drive side. It 1/2" flatter than the other discs. That was the side that gave marshall issues.
The flatter one actually fit well on the drive side.

However, on the non drive side, the disc stuck out a good bit beyond the mounting for the coasterbrake arm.

Cool! Mo fatta. Mo Fitta and 3-speed. Bonus!
Ran into the same issue when I made my hubcaps, last build. However, I was able to cut the hole a little wider and massage a dimple into the hubcap for clearance. Yours is quite a bit more challenging, as it's a smooth prefab.
