how do I know if a new guard will fit my katana?
I have a new high carbon steel full tang katana. Its my first sword and I really like it. however I don't like the guard and I want to get a new one for it but I don't know if every katana guard will fit every katana.
are guards pritty interchangeable or is there a certen messure ment I need to have befor choosing which guard to buy?
this is the guard Im looking at getting http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=370158476218&ssPageName=ADME:B:WNASIF:US:1123
It is not likely that any Tsuba will fit. I'd leave it alone if I were you. TIeven if you find one that will fit over the tang, it is likely to be too thick or thin. The spacers/sepa may or may not solve this. Swords and repairs are best left to someone that is highly experienced in them. If you start messing around with your katana, you are likes to be sorry you ever started messing with it. I have told several people this. Some listen. Some don't. The ones that didn't listen are wishing they did.

EDIT: Do not buy the Tsuba you posted a link to. Several reasons. I have done a lot (over 650) transactions on ebay. I can tell you that you do not want to ever buy from a seller in China that sells swords. They are rip of artists..... The swords and sword parts are not real. The make imitations that are cheap. Then you may not even receive it if you buy it. Lastly the hole looks wrong. It is likely made for a wakizashi or short sword. Stay away from ebay swords unless you know exactly what you are doing.
