Default Bristol 409 - Handbrake pad replacement

I'm having a bit of a nightmare trying to replace the handbrake pads on my 409.

Picture is of the caliper with the new pads fitted and the adjuster as wide open as I can get it - it's still too narrow a gap to be able to slide over the disc.

Has anyone else had this problem and how did you solve it?

And here is a view of the old pads and the new pads alongside each other
