Yep I did exactly what dave has done. Whilst still on the car I used an angle grinder and (Carefully!) ground down the stub axle until it was flush with the locking nut. I had to grind a little off the inside edge (rim) of the dust caps to tuck them in further. Then hammer them flat, push the speedo cable back in so it is flush with the dust cap and silicone in place. I was worried it would come out but for well over a year whilst having the bug it stayed put without the circlip.
