'28 & '29 front fender supports ARE different from '30 - '31.

'28 & '29 uses a forged steel support. (round) The ones you are using are for '30 - '31.

With '28 fenders the later supports (30/31) may be pulling the fender down slightly.

Both types bolt to the same location; so it might be worth finding a pair of 28/29's, and try them before you do anything else.

Also keep in mind the original tire size was pretty narrow.
