Subject: [CR]Older Cinelli 1A binder size?

I just bought a Cinelli Milano 1A stem without a binder bolt. I pulled the binder out of a new logo 1A, but the nut is too wide to fit in the Milano. I have tried it from both sides of the stem. The Milano stem is set up for a recessed nut binder, not a hex nut.

Options seem to be

ream the binder bolt hole to accomodate the larger nut

try to find the correct Cinelli nut

find some other binder bolt/nut combo

Please advise
