classicshaving.com sells replacement scales, might wanna check there.
I have a couple razors rescaled using the Classic Shaving selection of scales and they worked great and even included all the pins for the job.

Classic Shaving
Straight Razor Maintenance & Repair Needs
If SRD or Classic Shaving don't have what you are looking for you can always contact a member to make you custom scales, you will most likely need to ship the razor to them. If you are interested in custom made scales go to Classifieds > Member Services and look for members that offer restoration or scales.
Also check out Steve's site, The Invisible Edge.
Razor Scales & Pin kits
Steve is a member here (blueprinciple), and he is very knowledgable and helpful.
Robert Williams makes the scales SRD is selling. I bought a couple of them and they are first class and also include the hardware. Screws rather than pins so no worries with rivets or tightening.
no idea about the time it takes but it looks like the invisible edge got shipping included in price
I'll have to look into that. The price isn't so bad if they include the shipping.
Both were reasonable i'd say. 2 sets of ebony scales, 2 sets of additional pin sets (beyond what comes with scales), and set of 3 wedges all for £61.00 or roughly $98.00 (U.S.). Yes that is not chicken feed but for exquisite scales, pin sets, and wedges those will be around long after i've gone the way of the Dodo. :)
In terms of deliver i kinda forget but it wasn't that long. I remember that i ordered on like a Monday and they shipped out on Tuesday and had it within a week.
Hope that helps!
I used standard (2-56) folder screws when I re-handled my razor. I like the looks and I like being able to easily take everything apart for maintenance. The other bonus is that I used hardened pivots, so wear won't be an issue like it was on the pivot pin that I replaced. The original had a lot of blade play.

Phil I like those. They look nice. What do you mean by standard folder screws? I would like something like that.
I think I found what you meant.... GOOGLE is my friend. lol

Are roller bearings a little excessive? lol
Just a little hint here guys,,,
Most razors have tang holes that are 5/64 in size some are punched holes or worn holes that will fit a 1/8 size pin/screw but many of those are not round... Be prepared to do some modification of tang holes as soon as you go above 1/16 pins/screws
