Two options;

1 if it is a simple distance thing, then replace or extend the stays. A simple metal bracket can be bodged for this
2. If it is a width thing, above a wider mudguard

There is normally a spacer at the front bottom of the mudguard you need to remove if you're fitting +40mm tyres.
Otherwise there's only a few mm between the tyre and the mudguard there.
Once you've done that, just move the 4 other mudguard fitting a few mm up the stays and it'll fit.
That's how I fitted my BA to my Sprint.

I'm going through exactly the same transition, only mine is a delta so I have to replace two rear mudguards. I found some on amazon (bankrupt supplies)
