Subject: [CR]Spacers for fixed hubs?

I just received this very cool 30's BR drum brake fixed hub from Mr Stone. Yes, this three (four?) pound wonder has reverse threads for a lockring. However, when I spun on a flanged BSA cog and lock ring, there is a slight gap between the two, preventing the lockring from doing it's job.

The question is, do I put a spacer/washer between the cog and lockring or inboard of the cog to push it out the required distance? Or will either method suffice?

TIA
