What I did is exactly the same. Vintage track frame and Campagnolo brake. The answer is to use the back brake (shorter bolt) on the front fork, and put the allen bolt in the steerer tube and tighten by putting the allen key through the back hole. Use some threadlock, it may come loose once or twice but I tightened it tight and its lasted three weeks so far. You have to remember though the vibrations from the braking and the fact its not tightened through both holes will mean it will probably come loose, and so will mine eventually. You should have some warning though, as when you brake you will feel something wobbling, you'll think it's your headset, but it won't be. So it's like a surprise for those long same-old rides to work.
So maybe that is not really a fix.
