tonearm mounting
Mounting the aluminum clamping ring on a non-Clearaudio turntable:
To install the aluminum clamping ring on the turntable chassis, you will need to drill the required
holes. Please refer to the drilling template shown below (Picture 2) for the measurements to mark
the exact drilling holes.
Please be informed, that this drawing is not suitable for use as a mounting tool.
Use a 3.3 mm HSS drill bit, then cut an M4 thread into each hole using an appropriate tap cutting
tool.
If the turntable chassis material is not suitable for cutting threads, please use a 4.5 mm HSS drill bit
to drill the holes through the material. In this case use standard bolts and nuts to x the arm base.
