My question would be, what happens to the spacing of the rep to the 
hammer shank/knuckle after these acrobatics you mention?

I certainly shim the whip flange in order to space the lever to the 
hammer flange, but I prefer to keep the top of the rep lever as 
horizontal as much as possible, and not tilt the lever off of 90 
degrees if I can help it.

Considering that the only place the wip and the hammer actually meet is the 
jack hitting the knuckle, I don't think tilting the wip to accommodate both the 
capstan and the hammer flange will make enough of a difference. You not 
tilting it enough. 

But since you're redrilling the holes anyway, I guess it doesn't hurt to 
center them, without  the acrobatics to the wippens. But if the capstans were off 
center to begin with, but are now not centered on the cushions, could that 
have been cause by the keys warping slightly? As I said, one of the solutions was 
to space the front of the key. But perhaps the key itself needs to be 
straightened out.
