I've just spent over 20 minutes Googling for a picture of the inside of Victorinox Dual Density scales, like the ones on a Hunter XT.
I know they are not the most interesting scales. But I came up with a crazy idea and I need to know how much space there is inside of the DD scales.
My Slide Lock Hercules has beat up scales and I went looking for a replacement. SL scales are not hard to find and initially I wanted to replace it with red scales, like the ones it has now.
Then the crazy idea popped in my head and I thought about putting orange DD scales on it. But DD does not exist in SL.
But looking at the mechanism I think it should be possible to cut out the slot for the slider.
Looking at this image (courtesy of enki_ck) I think it would be possible.

If any of you have a DD scale laying around are willing to post an image I'd be much obliged.
Like this, from eBay??

Thank you very much for your quick reply!
Shouldn't be to much trouble to add a slider I think.
The available depth in the scale is a gamble, but a gamble I'm willing to take.
Perhaps it's possible to file down the sides of the slide bit. I'll see. It's a gamble I'm willing to take.
