Fidelity Research FR64s Headshell dilemma

Dear FR64S users can you help me please. I have an FR64S that i bought without a headshell. I have only just got round to getting it mounted. I did pivot to spindle distance of 231.5 (the alternative distance' I also have an armboard for 230.
I tried a Sony headshell that i had - it was 2mm short of correct alignment. So I bought a new Jelco headshell it was also too short. 
CAn you tell me what headshell does work to allow other cartridges to work. I'm just using a DL103 for alignment first as I fettle the rest of my front end.

thanks

Dear chakster, You forget to post the picture of the ''linear carrier''
of this Yamaha invention. Should we ask all 4 owners  of
ET-2 (long) thread for explanation? Chris is my other Slavic 
brother always willing to answer any question. I assume that ET-2
is better arm otherwise there would be no such long thread about
this one.

This is incredible and in the stupidity land for say the least.

In the page 2 he promises:

"" I’m really tired of this pointless thread, you can continue without me, thanks. ""

"" I want to quit from this discussion..""



obviously he not even can honor his words. After that:


""" I don’t read Rauls posts, not interested. """


Really? and follows posting about ! ! ! ? ? as I said in the stupidity land world. Some like to live there all their life. Pity.

In my country people say:

"" a talk-talk-talk man falls down before a cripple one ""

@nandric this is not a linear tracking tonearm, look here (no offset angle at the headshell), a very old document here.

Yamaha is short and straight tonearm as you can see, yamaha is an old tonearm, but look at the modern high-end from ViV Lab (same concept with underhang and straight position of the cartridge in the headshell).

Now if anyone can hear distortion in this video please wright back

Tonearm manufacturers breaking the rules and they are doing it for decades, who cares about that Baerwald ? Who would buy those tonearms if they are not good ? 

Remember Swedish SAT tonearm ?
