Cassette/Scored freehub issues

I have an issue with my cassette/freehub caused by soft aluminium and under torquing the lockring.
The freehub body has been scored so deeply that the 5th cog has seated around 1 mm clockwise from where it should sit causing chain slippage under power.
Possible solutions are:
A) Position correctly and torque up as tight as I can.
Replace freehub body (moderate cost)
C) Get SRAM 1190 Cassette (pricy as hell)
Would A work or am i looking at releasing the moths from my wallet?
I can put my other wheels on to solve the problem but they are less aesthetically pleasing.

I feel this may be the case. Was just checking if others had managed to bodge things successfully.
Have you checked chain wear?
If this is happening after fitting a new chain it suggests the cassette's worn.

Not sure if i can get a steel freehub body for novatec hubs.
It is not how you ride that notches freehubs. I avoid it and so can you.
I say this because every notched freehub I see has the lockring barely done up at all. There a pattern there. Also a freehub can only notch badly if the cassette can move. Sadly Shimano cassettes for some reason are more prone to this.
I fully agree, it was my lily-livered approach to lockrings that caused it. I think I'll be in touch with Malcolm once i work out exactly which freehub I need.
buy new freehub
take old one off
put new freehub on
put cassette on
do up really tight
job jobbed

Agreed!
Instructions from Shimano are that lock rings should be between 30 and 50nm (40) is printed on the cassette. 50nm is proper tight.
No need for a torque wrench just use your weight and crank it up. Zipp free hubs are made of cheese I think.
