Default Trigos and cut down drive pins

Finally in a position to fit Trigos which I have had for a while. I need to get 8-10mm machined off the back of the rear wheels to make them sit nicely in the wheel arch using the 5 pin Trigo hub adaptors. But this will create a problem for the drive pins: which will then be too long for the reduced depth holes in the wheel.

I think Kirkham did some reduced length pins, but I cant find the thread, and not sure if these are still available. I found another thread this side of the pond suggesting mounting the pins and then cutting them to the right length once mounted, using an angle grinder. Not keen on the latter approach as i think ths will render them unservicable in the event of a problem further down the line.

Any comments/suggestions?
