There is no problem attaching the nose guard to the front axle. Here's a pic of mine (before I started renovation!).

It is attached to each side of the axle by the inner axle bolt, ie a total of just two bolts - simple as that!

The front axle moves as a rigid beam, so provided you attach the guard to nothing other than the axle, it will simply move with the axle. Just make sure that when the axle is moved each way to its full deflection, that your protector doesn't touch the nose cone.

Look forward to seeing your finished protector!
