  Whenever I encounter this misalignment (which is quite often),
  I relocate the stack such that the whippen ratio is the same
  across the compass.

  **** Great, more surgery - I love it. 

  As far as locating the whippen heel, if the location you desire
  does not coincide with the default hole, cut off the dowel and
  place the heel where you wish. First glue on to the ends of
  each section (measure each from the front) and glue on
  the rest by aligning with a straightedge, much like hanging hammers.

  **** Slaps head - dowell is not a permanent structure - thanks for that.

  Actually, the dowel usually just pulls out with these nifty pliers:

  As Roger Jolly says, they're great for damper work.
