Hard to say without having the parts in hand. My main concern would be this, if you do take some meat of the inside of the caliper to get those pads in, will the gap between the pads be big enough for the disc to go in with enough clearance ?

Are those monoblock Calipers ? If not then it would be easy to seperate them and have the gap machined bigger. I don't suppose you have another new set of calipers to compare the internal gap where the pistons are ?
Maybe we can ask Phil to measure the gap on his. |

Perhaps I am not certain of what I am looking at, but it appears you have plenty of space as evidenced by your thumb in the opening.
What is the precise issue? You should not need to "machine" a caliper to fit pads. You should not need to modify pads to fit a caliper. In your image, Rick, are those both the new pads?
