I got an Aheadset Potts-Mod so I can run the front brake cable through the steerer tube. It comes with a larger bolt with a hole through the middle for the cable. Star nut sized to match.

I used an installation method I learned from RJ the bike guy on YouTube.
You just use an appropriately sized socket, slip the bolt through, space the bottom with washers and tighten the star nut up to it. Then mark for depth and tap it in. Works great!
