Does it sound strange in english?

As Julie says,
I wouldn’t wire the damper in case it falls off and I can’t think that there is enough clearance in the ‘bucket’ on the horseshoe for anything other than the damper block. New dampers are a good fit on the eye of the blade anyway. I think I would stick the damper to the lower end of the blade after removing any traces of oil, with something like ‘sticks like sh!t’ adhesive (hope it’s available in France!) and leave it to dry overnight before fitting. I don’t think a THIN smear of adhesive will prevent the small amount of angular movement needed and it will probably eventually let go when oily and hot.
How did you free up the horseshoe? Might be something we all need to know.

I got something like that in the tool box, it even sticks plastic on car paint, I will try that if the lower one is actually missing,
To free the horseshoe I did a bit like I read on this forum: a screwdriver in the pushroad hole in front of the engine just to feel the movement, and I pushed directly on the blade with my thumb. At first the blade was coming back with no response in the screwdriver so I pushed hard on that one, and the blade answered. Then I worked one to another, it took no long to make it work properly.
