Mounting Kuzma 4point 14 tonearm on Yamaha GT 2000 turntable

After many years of owning this turntable I have decided to upgrade from the Yamaha arms. I have settled on the Kuzma 4 point 14. This choice means that I can never use the stock turntable dustcover ever again. Not even when not playing a record. The Kuzma arm is too sizeable to enable that. Luckily the large plinth on the GT 2000 can accomodate the Kuzma 12 inch mounting distance.

I know I will be the only GT 2000 owner with a 4 point 14. Does anyone have any tips ot feedback about the 4 point 14? Thanks in advance for any specific relevant replies

I have decided to start anew, strip out the old stock plinth and will definitely be utilisng an new plinth. I will ask all not to now suggest plinth builders. I have rethought the entire thing.

I am getting a Kuzma 4 point 14, because on the new plinth, the size of the platter will be the same. From everything I have read, a really good arm. I want it on my new plinth whatever I do.

This wiil be my last post in this thread. I know I shall purchase this particular arm. and i appreciate all who contributed. Sayonara from Koalaland.

Plus no insult to Thom at Galibier. I will not be using any substitute tube. Not if NASA made it.

You misunderstand - the 4Point Hybrid is fully manufactured by Kuzma.

I will not again be coming back to this thread. The topic of fitting a 4 point to a GT 2000 plinth is now moot. Thank you to all who read and and a special thank you to all who replied. Especially Dover.
