Please help with my first poll... I've fitted 1 1/8" ahead star nuts successfully more then a few times in the past with an rusty top cap bolt and an old 11/16" socket... but that was on hacks... dare I use same technique on a carbon rigid fork - albeit with alloy steerer?
star nut fitting - a poll!

Top cap bolt, hammer and hope for the best. Always have a spare starnut handy when using this very dodgy method

long allen bolt, steady hand and a ******* great hammer
Not having a go at anyone in particular but each week there's similar questions regarding tools. Most of us are talking about cherished and rare bicycles so unless you're only building one bike or it's a really expensive tool then why not go and buy the correct tool?
A Star Nut Installer is £12 and they take about 4 taps with a hammer to fit (unless if your feeling all medieval/caveman-ish/gung-ho, then you can do it in one hit)
