I would move the guide 1/2", when you are done repair will not be visible, center the damage underneath a guide wrap.
Hey !! - That's a great idea !! I did a hybrid of that, I cut out 3/4" of the blank at the break which shifted the joint to 1/8" past the guide foot's tip. I didn't want to risk chafing the rod if I moved the guide. I'll extend the wrap past the joint.
I did add a piece of flexible wire in the stent's tiny hole to provide some 'hoop strength' .... its very flexible & will not be stiff.
Thanks very much for your advice, the slightly longer wrap on 1 side of the guide is a lot better than having a separate wrap for the stent !!
