I looks like a 1/4" Internal-External Star Lock Washers would fit, Open and scroll down here: http://www.almabolt.com/pages/catalog/washers/star.htm

I'm not ready to use this solution yet. I've been shopping on-line for skewers, and it looks like Shimano makes the best item for this application. I already have more than one spare rear Shimano skewer, and I do trust these more than the item that broke. I may ask my network of C&V owners if they have some minty Shimano 600 skewers around.

Any suggestions on what C&V skewer to use?
