VPI 12" Fatboy unipivot alignment question
While doing some maintenance on my VPI TNT 6 table, I measured the pivot to spindle (PS) distance and it is 298mm. This is correct for the original JMW 12.7 tonearm and VTA assembly. A few years ago, I updated to a 12" Fatboy Unipivot and just realized today that the Fatboy's PS distance should be 300mm and not the 298 mm I have. FYI, the VTA assembly is mounted on a removable 4" wide tonearm board.
Questions:
Is there a way to compensate for this 2mm discrepancy? I'd really prefer not to make another arm board to get the proper 300mm PS distance.
Is there a way to align the stylus that will minimize any ill effects from this discrepancy?
Is the 2mm discrepancy negligible?
Thank you in advance for any advice you can offer.
