I haven't seen this style in person but if the stud have enough threading to grip (and be SAFE after modding) then sure: just reduce the end of the studs that intrude into the holder's interior!
I'd use a Dremel to grind them flat (or flatter) while leaving everything in place, maybe even adding a dollop of epoxy to what's left, for insurance.
You want your new brake pads to stay on and stay tight!
Hiya - Apologies to all for not being clear about what was chopped etc .
That model pad holder has a seperable bit that has a locating pin on one end a d thread on other .
Pics attached showing one in holder with the seperable bit next to it (before surgery)
There was a debate at the time as to the safety of it ?
The conclusion was that it wouldnt make a lot of difference as long as pads were mounted in correct orientation .
