I'd like to fit some full guards to my inbred 29er so o don't spray the baby trailer with too much mud and grit. They are no bosses on wish bone or a chainstay bridge. Ton suggested zip ties but i figure these will rattle. Does anyone have a more elegant solution? Pictures are good.

Some electrical tape around the tubes wherever the zip ties are going gives then some grip and stops rattles.
I also made a chain stay bridge out of a bit of plastic tube. This is just held in place with electrical tape too, and the rear mudguard just clips to it. Originally this was just a quick bodge, but it stayed in place for over a year without issues on the commuter. I recently re taped it after a spring clean up, and if this summer is like last year, it may well stay on permanently. Black tape on a black frame hardly notices.
Functional rather than elegant, but if you're fitting mudguards.........
