Are you recommending yourself to do the work?  Or just let the customer pay over $300 to have someone, with, as you say, 'more experience' do the work?
 
Oh, and, by the way, how does one gain experience?

The answer is: NO! The bridle straps, on an overdamper action are crucial and need to be the proper length. Since the action is not of the best design, the overall 'balance' can be disrupted, easily, with improper repairs. I suggest you leave it alone and let someone with more experience do the work.
