I couldnt find one of the bass clef but if you just replace the numbers with

1 2 3 4 5 3 4 5  (and down) 5 4 3 5 4 3 2 1

I hope this iswhat you mean? lol

And if you prefer, you can replace Sharon's fingering on the right hand by 123 1234 etc. (both are acceptable). :)

Nope thats not quite what i'm after, that is the fingerings for the standard C major scale. One of the many types of scales I have to learn for Grade 8 is to play any scale both hands together a third apart. The fingerings for this is slightly different :)

Thanks for the advice, although I have already started learning these scales with the right hand starting on 3, so i'll stick with that :)
