The star washer between the front of the crown and 'fixed bolt' you hold with the cone wrench would help a lot if it is not already there.
Yeah, there's not a star washer at the moment. If the brakes require constant adjusting, I will definitely throw one of those on there. The fork doesn't have any marks in that area, so I don't think it has ever had a star washer on it.
