for the vibe damper drill 2 small holes in the TT to fit a pop rivet and put one pop on either side of the damper,
this way it wont slide around down the road .
if the rubbers are loose get some glue and reglue them to the damper,
make sure the rivets are long enough to catch the damper.
OR use sheet metal screws with bolt type heads to screw into the TT after the damper is fitted Nice work and photos

Just a caution about the vibe dampener. Their rubber holders will come apart sooner or later. This can have the heavy metal part kissing the drive shaft, wearing on the TT body and also start moving up and down the TT. Pinning the vibe dampener really won't help the rubber holders from coming apart.
Here is one we found during a recent TT rebuild. You can see where the drive shaft was being rubbed by the vibe dampener bits hanging on the drive shaft. Thankfully it was caught in time and the drive shaft did not seem to be too damaged.
HTH,
