If its not a daft question, what length is a short/medium/full coverage front/rear guard, and how does this compare to a standard SKS bluemels?

I need to sell the climbing stuff. That was a lifetime ago! Its a bit daunting, to be honest. So much stuff to sort through... And I have to find somewhere to relocate it all.

In an effort to try to get things moving, I'm posting a couple of pics of my "to be" workshop. Right now, its just a corridor with a load of tat piled up in it. But someday soon it will be my workshop, oh yes! We have electrics (at the moment, just evidenced by one bulkhead light) - sorry, M_V. I'll either build or buy a good bench, and then start acquiring the rest of the bits I need.

Shimano Tiagra 9-speed, all working nicely but I treated my winter bike to something shinier:
Brifters, ST-4501 with a bit of a tear in the left-hand lever hood £15
Rear mech, RD-4600 in v good condition £10
Front mech, band on for 31.8mm, FD-4600, in good condition, £7Unbranded dual pivot brake calipers with shoes, £10
Or take the whole lot for £30. I'll give priority to anyone taking the whole lot.
All prices include postage.
Do you mind me asking what size profiles you're getting and a price? I am just pricing up right now, having bought the kit from Ideas 2 Cycles (thanks for the link, @Rik_Van_Looy). The kit cost 99 euros, and is on its way. I am thinking of building the jig out of larger extrusions to make it stiffer, but costs quickly get big with the larger profiles.
I've been looking at extrusion prices on aluminium-profile.co.uk, they are about £11 per metre (40x40mm) or £19 per metre for 40x80mm.
If anyone has any experience with this kind of jig, or thoughts on what I should look out for, I would be grateful!
