Yes the shell skin fenders are available
Go to British rubber for your front tyres
Or I have some good used originals about 90% if you wanted them
The new skins are pretty thin
So tighten bolts up evenly to limit them deforming...
7.50s will drag on the steering if they did fit
Personally I'd fit some genuine pattern goodyear tyres the reason being the middle bar stands higher and 40psi with good kingpins theres almost no drag.
Mudgaurds trouble there is many have supply issues I've used agriline ones to be fair they...

Double check you timing gears pops are on a tooth - in-between a tooth
Just check your not 1 tooth out I'm not doubting your work but it can be easily toothed out.
A washer on a head bolt just nip them gently to hold the liner
Make sure the edge of the washer dosnt catch the piston as it comes to tdc etc
