I had the same problem, but a couple of washers gave me enough clearance for the headset.
No flexy problems as my front brake is crap anyway. -

if it's just the bolt can you file a flat spot onto it? so it ends up like this...

Might have too, but there is a lot there, would take a very long time to file and probably mess up the rest of the caliper slipping with the file.
I have circled the bit that is causing the problem, not my bike of course, just some random picture

dismantle the brake, but the nut in a vice and file it/grind it down. Unless it's threaded or has grooves to retain the spring it should be easy
The gap between the hole for my brake and the crown is too small to fit most brakes. I have a campag chorus that I would like to use but it does not fit, top of the front bolt jams against the crown. Cause I am rubbish at explaining, a diagram seems to be a sensible idea.
Tried a couple of brakes, champag dual pivot and shimano tiagra won't fit. Miche performance will, but that is black and I want silver (and I need the black one for something else)
Any thoughs on either where I can get a silver miche, or any other caliper that is kinda skinny up top?
