you could just trim a 2mm section of 10mm o/d 6mm i/d bushing

that would act as the packer to take the qr skewer load to the tuggnut. The qr could than still tighten up against the bushing end/tugnut face without the top hat bit...

thats one option i actually have a bit at the min that was 20mm diameter but 10mm deep and it has the correct 2mm depth 10mm bit and a 6mm bore i just need to reduce the depth of the 20mm diamter bit dwon to 2mm but judging by the amount of rubbing it took to get it to fit in the flange area i think knocking off 8mm and keeping it flat would be impossible ;-(

someone on here made me the last one but ive lost the details since the new forum and new computer . bugger

No promises yet, but just nipping down the shed to play lathes.
