Thread: First attempt at replacing scales

Sorry for my bad English. I chose a point in the scales where I'll drill the pivot hole, right? Next, I picked the razor and with the tang leading, I put it between the scales where it will be fixed with the pin. I then tried to simulate I was closing the razor as if it had the pivot pin and everything assembled together. When the razor was reaching the other end it didn't entered completely centered in the "hole" of the scales but instead it touched the left side of the scales! The scales have a slight deviation. They aren't perfectly parallel.
