    Upon dry fitting with out wedge blade is setting to the left un-centered in the scales.What would be the steps to get it centered? Do you need a pivot washer on both sides?

    Are the scales of even thickness
    Are scales of even width
    The hard part is getting the thickness the same from end to end and the same on each scale
    I try to keep any unevenness to less than .003

    Often the pin gets bent while pinning. Also the pin holes are not always perfectly round or straight as they were put through with a punch before there were drills. Pinning skills take a while to master. You might find that repinning will correct it. You might also consider a sleave if the pin hole is irregular.
