Thank you very much for the details!

Then I attached a 6-32 stainless bolt with a 6-32 nylock nut to the angled aluminum. the angle was recessed back into the fender lip enough to move the nut back so when the air gap or rear fender skirt was installed with another nylock nut on the outside it would be flush with the fender.

Do you mean like this?
bolt on inside > aluminum fastener > nylock nut in middle > aluminum skirt > nut on outside
Why not have a more aerodynamic screw head on the outside, or do you feel there's not much difference aero wise, and having the nut there makes removal much easier? How often do you remove the skirt for checking your tires?
Also, what did you use for the side skirts, and how high are they from the ground, 5 inches?
Best regards.
