i think it gets dragged round the thread and bends, ive heard people using surly tugnuts and dmr's chain tug. just wanted to see which ones work before i buy

Think the idea is you use them to tension the wheel, tighten it up then back them off slightly

(i.e. don't ride with them under tension)

If you want a cheap and easy solution I got a bag of about 15 bolts from B and Q that work fine for 3 quid. Tighten up with a flat head screwdriver too so easy to sort...

I gave up with the crappy little set screws, the problems even worse with the Alfine hub.

This is my solution, a quick release tug nut.

Alfine one doubles as a no turn washer.

Do you have access to a workshop and proper tooling, perchance?
That one doesn't look as if you used a hacksaw and molegrips to make it.
