Superb job, and very useful too So you didn't need to even drill a tiny pilot hole for the screws?
Something I was happy about was the fact that the metal screws self tapped themselves into the alox scales. I was concerned I would need to manually tap the holes after I drilled them, but my tap kit doesn't have a tap this small. I tested one screw and found that it actually tapped the hole very well. I presume the steel is harder than the aluminum.
