RE: are you designing your own tonearm?

"are you designing your own tonearms?"

The reason I ask is that if your are not designing your own tonearm, the tonearm you are trying to fit already has a recommended mounting distance and this should serve as a template which might be altered only slightly.

Another observation:
You list suggests three mounting distances; 208, 211 and 214mm. All suggest a 9 inch tonearm. Typically, 213 is about as short as it gets for existing 9 inch tonearms. It is also common to see mounting distances of 222mm for a tonearm with an effective length of 239mm. ( which is for Rega which does not use nulls per Baerwald/Lofgren A)
