"So you're talking about rebuilding the hub instead of purchasing a closed-cam skewer? Do you charge by the hour?"
About, other than being annoying?

Glad it's holding up. If it doesn't, I would suggest a tensioner thing that pulls the skewer back like the one shown earlier, an axle swap (it's really not that difficult), or adding cerated washers between the clamping surfaces. I've done all three over the years (in addition to what you've done with the new skewer) - the bolt axle and tensioner worked best for me.
