Coosa,
For the off-face issue try shimming the hook with a slice of beer-can aluminum (just make sure the can held a descent beer and not that lite swill being marketed these days). When it comes to SXS's, I'm a bottom-feeder and before I sink money into my latest relic I like to try it out first. I've found that the aluminum shim is often a good temporary repair for an off-face SXS.
