Oddly enough Geoff I too am beginning to think that grinding down the new pad is the only way.
If you look at the profile of the old and new pads, the old is perfectly flat although angled - when it sits in the caliper it presents a flat vertical face to the disc.
The new pad isn't flat, it's got a curve which won't sit so well once it's in the caliper.
Never felt the need to grind down pads before, still I suppose there's a first time for everything!
