>>even with my cartridge extended to the very end of the headshell screw grooves, the stylus was still a tiny bit short of the indent in the circle<<
I haven't used that cartridge but I have a hazy recollection that it's a bit shorter than average. A search of the VA archives might confirm that. If my memory is correct then that would explain why you couldn't get the Dynavector to align at 222mm. Of course you could always take a small round file available at any hobby shop and file the slots a bit longer.
>>As you suggested, I changed the distance to 19.5mm (approx) and was able to get it into the bullseye (so what does that make my overhang?)<<
Hmm...I hope you were using a two point protractor and not the Clearaudio. It's only correct for one effective length, most likely a Rega mounted at 222mm. I don't know what the overhang is for a Rega at 219.5mm (and as I noted its tough to measure overhang anyway) but if you really want to know there's a spreadsheet downloadable from the Asylum FAQ page that will help you calculate the number. You might also want to take a look at some of the other links on the FAQ page; there are several excelent articles about cartridge set up and alignment.

I'm on the other coast, in the home of the World Champion Red Sox.
