Job done! Thank you lads! Turned the locking nut just one click and the play was gone.

It surprises me that there is no gasket on the hub mating surface.

There should be...

worst case knock one up out of beer box (cardboard usually found on dozens, not the corrugated boxes that 24s come in...)
PITA, but a hole-punch set (scissors if you're a masochist) will have em knocked out pretty quick.

my 2011 gu had no gasket there from new . i just put a thin wipe of wheel brg grease on the mating surfaces , that should stop or slow the progress the passage of water across the joint . i have had my hubs under water a few times and there was no signs of water ingress even without the grease when they were separated the first time . the parts hub housings are only alloy , be careful when handling that you don't ding the edges around the mating surfaces , it can cause them not to closley mate togeather again .

Again ^^^what these Legends said
Under duress in the bush old faithful Silasticy/gasket helpers can even out imperfections.
Word of warning, be sure to carefully apply a thin layer carefully around and not globs of it over the stud holes. Studs themselves won’t thread all the way home if a glob accidentally finds its way onto the studs end, aint much tolerance for compression at the end of that little hole

the bonus with my method is that you have to empty a box of beer...
