I think I used a thin washer, just enough to the legs cleared the bolt heads. Used it like that for ages.
IIRC that fork has quite a deep recess to capture the hub oln. I once did the descent on the rough track from Ooty Hill station in Tamil Nadu down to the Indian Ocean. Its one of the prettiest rides you can do and the descent is about 2o miles long. I didnt notice until about 2/3 way down that the pesky kids at the top had undone the QR on my front wheel.

They hadn't, QRs unscrew themselves when subjected to the wheel ejection force caused by disc brakes.

It was probably 1-2mm max, only on the elbows of the spokes at the hub flange. I've found a random washer in my garage to put on the NDS axle, which appears to have fixed it. Obviously the washer is smooth rather than knurled like the outer locknut is, so it remains to be seen whether I get any issues with it slipping. @velosaurus - is this what your solution looked like too? Any issues?
