Do not fall into the trap of thinking that the Lip Slot has to be dead center. It doesnt.
Whats important is where the lip blade is in relation to the plug(some tolerance here) & the position of the wire in relation of the center of the plug (very little tolerance here), with the bending of the wire loop as a FINAL TUNE.
Look at the pug sideways to see if it looks right.
Look at an original GOO GOO Eye. There is no lip slot at all .
To answer your question however, YES, and I will tell u why.
You need that wire in a higher position on the plug, thererfore the whole lip has to be moved slightly up to align the wire thru hole on the lip (IF you want the same action as you stated) This way you may not need any Final bending adjustment at all on the wire loop, which is what I think you were asking?
The other solution is obviously a different hole position in the lip, which some lips like the Lefty #1 and soon the Lefty #2 will have.
What Lip are u using, maybe I should have asked that first.
