I purchased a die and made my own brass screws on the lathe , took about .5 hr. Mounted up the ZYX Airy 3 on the Graham Phantom with the spacer they provide now i have to re-adjust everything. I had to install the spacer under the cartridge cause my VTA was as low as i could go and i needed to lower it more.
