Anybody tried using Shelter w/JMW arms?

It seems impossible to use a Shelter with a JMW10.5? Has anyone tried mounting and aligning? Measuring spindle to pivot point at recommended 250mm, the cart is pushed all the way to the limit yet the stylus does not hit the desired dot.

However, using a Graham arm the screws fall in the middle thus perfect fit.

Any insights?

Hi Steve,
I recently installed a Koetsu on the new JMW10.5i and it had no problem as the stylus hit the dot using the VPI jig. In spite of the arm being 12mm longer don't forget it was also mounted a bit further.
I also mounted a Denon 103 on a Thorens TD850 with a Rega300 and the Denon also fell short using the Clearaudio alignment gauge.
I made sure the overhang is the distance specified for the table/arm combo but.....
I wonder what other carts share the same problem?
