You could leave the tension on but it would be better to make a pattern
and supply the end measurements with a note stating that the pattern
was taken over the dampers.

The pattern will give the configuration of the hitch and bridge pins with
the curvature of the agraffes.  The end speaking length measurements
will establish the correct speaking length proportions of the pattern
on the bench accounting for the pattern bulging over the dampers.
