Ah that makes sense. I've dismantled an old Shimano hub to liberate some nuts and spacers. Let's see what quick maths I can do to put together a solution.

Fit any spacers between the two nuts, then tighten them against each other: it might take a couple of goes to get the preload on the bearings right.

You have cone spanners, right?

Yep, cone spanners I've got.

The main problem is that the two locknuts are 5mm and 4mm, and I only need 7mm of total material between bearing and dropout on the right-hand side, meaning I'm having to be creative.
