Hi Goatwuss
>>> Does this still look to be too far forward in the head shell? <<<
YES!
I'm pretty certain it will be further in with the original VPI alignment.
Next!
Some of these type Ortofons have a propensity for the cantilever going out of centre (slightly) and to the left when viewed from the front.
It means (if the case) that the cart body can actually not be used for your Zenith alignment!
Try to turn the cart if straight = 6:00 to ~ 6:03 i.e. very slightly to the left from the point where the protractor would suggest it to be.
(That's where a Graham and it's alignment jig has far less of a problem, as you can see if the cantilever is slightly off)
