Thanked: 13249Those Pins look more like Torx bolts then peened pins look closely first
These razors are hard to fit scales too even custom ones are a pain because of the Tangs..
That is why the "Wedge" is so big
To do a traditional style set of scales you almost have to use a 3rd pin to get around the Tang..
Check the pins first then proceed from there,, post better pics of what you find and I will try and talk you through it, honestly I would NOT recommend this razor to anyone for a first set of custom scales..
You have the Tnag and the overly long heel to contend with on the 8/8, you can see where people have done all sorts of oddball stuff to Generic scales to get them to fit the 8/8 3rd Generation Friodurs

The horn scales pictured look terrific. I think, however, I might just leave it alone for awhile. It came in a large box and fits fine. It just doesn't fit in my 7 razor box. The razor takes an unreal edge. Almost too sharp. Overall, I like the razor but the odd width is a pain.
