Spacer between cartridge and headshell on Breuer

Hi Musiclovers!
I just got hold of a Breuer 8 tonearm.
To my surprise I had to use spacers between my cartridge PC-1 and headshell to get arm parallel with turntable.
There was one spacer with the arm, made of propably same material as Raven One turntable (black and dense).
I use Raven One with Breuer.
That wasn´t enough I had to make an extra, didn´t have this dense material had to use softer.
Has anyone experienced similar, I´d be happy to know.
PC-1 is approximately 17mm heigh.
No experience with other cartridges.

Many Thanks!

You should be able to raise the tonearm to get the arm
parallel to the record surface . The tonearm pillar is adjustable higher or
lower. It is possible you have the arm up at the pivot as high as it will go.
If so, you'll have to shim it somewhere. IMO I wouldn't want to shim between
the cartridge and headshell.

The nob on the top of the pivot is the anti-skate adjustment.
