Yes, I had the same problem.
I've lined the inside of the clamp with electrical tape to stop the metal from scraping the paint in the process.
I then used a longer bolt to slowly bring the 2 halves of the clamp together and once in place, I've replaced it with the original one.
Filing could be an option.
You just need to get rid of the sharp corner of the clamp.
I've recently filed a Campag band on mech to fit on the Bates when I've encountered the same problem. I worked a treat.
