>>Nottingham manual shows pivot point to stylus length as 210mm
pivot to spindle is 222mm

pivot to spindle can not be less than piviot to stylus for any modern alignment methods. Probably just a typo.

from a post further down:
>>I know how to set up this kind I'd system
>>I enjoy setting up a cartride and tweaking once in a while.
>>I have to think a 7mm difference is excessive. Unless the very short

I dont have any experience with the specific gear in question, BUT other gear WILL NOT align properly (baerwald) if the manufacturers recommended mounting distance is observed. I have had the WORST time setting up a properly mounted rega arm with a grado cart.

If you are using a template MADE for an assumed pivot to spindle distance (walytractor, or similar) this can be an issue, but if you are using a "universal" protractor and everything falls into place its probably not a problem.
