Stuart couldn't find a chain ring guard for my Fugin to make it race legal. Anyone have any ideas or am I going to have to make one?

Roy - The best bet is to find a chainguard that will fit onto your crank spider like a third chainring, unless you're already using a triple or don't have removable chainrings. To find a suitable chainguard you need to know the spec of your outer chainring, specifically:

Then Google for 'xx BCD chainring'. Spa Cycles in Harrogate are a reliable source with a wide range of sizes.

If you cannot find it online, you have an option have it 3D printed it now.
Not going to be cheap, though...

Halfords sell two different sizes of plastic chainring guard.
42-44T and 46-48T.  They're both £6.99.

If taking the DIY route, there's a small gallery of chainguard creations buried within the BHPC webpages

Yes Andrew the problem is I am using a triple and there is no room between the crank and the top ring. Unless it is about half a millimetre thick. I'm really looking for something that will mount on the boom side.
 
Thanks.

Yes Gromit, that looks like it will fit. I would have liked a carbon one but that will do the job.
Thanks.

Alternatively, there's the HPVelotechnik / Toxy style chainring guard: It's attached by a thin piece of metal that clamps between the bottom bracket and its shell, so ought to fit just about anything?

When finding one for my Baron, I tried borrowing the ICE version from my partner's trike, but there wasn't enough BB shell for it to clamp to, on account of the large-diameter boom. The HPVelotechnic one worked fine.
