Good luck. I hope you learn a lot from this. As far as the off center hole is concerned, I don't quite understand. The damper flanges I have seen have the hole in the middle. But even if they are off centered, you can use them, but then adjust the damper wire to move the damper head over to the string.   Wim </HTML>
