Buy a dedicated ss cog. The cogs in your cassette will have shifting ramps and shaped teeth that makes getting the chain off the cog much easier. Not really what you want.
If your free hub body is aluminium then get a ss cog with a wide base so it doesn’t dig in.
Qr skewer should work, it holds your wheel in place just now doesn’t it? If your current one is of the open cam design I’d recommend you replace it with a decent Shimano one.

If I wanted to temporarily convert this bike to SS, could I simply:
I like the red rims too much to use different wheels, which I'm sure would be the cleaner solution. For a SS conversion is it kosher to use QR skewers in horizontal dropouts or do I need a track axle and track nuts?
