Graham Phantom II 12" - dimensions and overhang


Hello guys,

I come from Europe and recently purchased Graham Phantom II tonearm with 12" armwand.I was missing specs for 12" armwand (in manual are specs for 9" and 10"),so I emailed to Bob Graham and asked him for specs for 12" version. The answer was,that 12" version should be adjusted same as SME V 12". Bob sent me document with SME dimensions as well.

So regarding this document specs are Leff 308,8, overhang 13,2, mounting distance ( Pivot-Spindle) 295,6.
To adjust mounting distance is easy using any quality protractor. I used Acoustic Solid.

So with mounting distance adjusted to 295,6,here comes the thing.
I should set overhang to 13,2 regarding to specs for SME V 12",but simply

My jig for my 10" was blue and that was the standard for a 9" when I originally received the arm. They (Musical Surroundings) sent me a 10" jig that is red. Who knows, I haven't tried it as the Mint LP is superior anyway and that is what I use.
Graham had made a jig for a 10" it's anodized red. I'm sure they have one for the 12". Contact Musical Surroundings for info.
