Sealed bearing quick release?

Hey out there, just want more opinions on what can be done.

I got a SE Draft bike awhile ago and want to convert the front nutted axle to quick release. Now, it's got the sealed cartridge bearings with a solid axle (with built in spacers to hold bearings in place). What can I do to make it a quick release without changing the hub...?

I'm guessing getting a hollow axle with just a tad smaller O.D. than the inner "race" of the bearing's I.D....then using a spacer between the two bearings...?
