I don't know how much straighter you want them bro... They look pretty darn straight to me!
I am thinking maybe the wood as a backer had too much "give" to it?
I straightened mine with a HEAT GUN.
Held the scale in my hand and heated it just enough so as not to burn my hand then I layed them on the table of my bench scroll saw and pressed down with my fingers.
It was COLD out so the metal was quite cold also. It only took about 5 minutes for each scale to get straight...or as straight as I liked them.
As for the pivot area, I might try putting some Super Glue there to fill in the cracks and then sanding it down flat. You have thrust washers going there anyways so I do believe that it "should" provide enough stability for this. Maybe gluing the washers there could work also?
