Either that or a replacement wippen. It sounds like this is becoming a 
very frustrating, time-consuming repair for the tech. If you're trying
to make do with a part that's not quite right and this is a frequently
played note, you might trying exchanging the repaired wippen with that
from a less-frequently played note, if possible. At keast if it fails
again, the owner will think "Oh, no, ANOTHER broken damper spoon"! :)
