    Yep have seen and contemplated these scales before when I started but decided against it.
    They are unfortunately not made to suit YOUR razor so would be a crap shoot for a fit and balance, your only real option for a balance is the wedge material used, I would look at a piece of horn or bone or even a wedgeless spacer pin type option rather than metal wedge may help
    Still in the lessons learnt bucket I say
    They might suit a nice heavy wedge and feel spot on but a full hollow reduces the options a bit with the brass liner
    JMHO & YMMV
