Shimming a Schaller Floyd

Hey guys, does anyone know the correct number of shims to use under the saddles of a Schaller Floyd Rose to match the compound radius at the bridge?  I found a thread that explains how to do it for an original Floyd, but the Schaller has a 12" radius instead of the original's 10".  I'm thinking two shims under the outside strings and one under the A and B strings will do it, but does anyone know for sure?  The shims I'm using are the standard ones that are available from several parts sellers.  Thanks.
 
On the Original Floyd, you need two shims under the high E and low E, and one shim under the A and B. The D and G don't get any shims.

I would imagine that on the 12" radius Shaller Floyd, you'd perhaps need one shim under both E strings.

Street is correct, and the number of shims listed work for both OFR or Schaller.  :rock-on:
