I'm confused as to why you had to measure the spindle to pivot distance. I bought two Mint LP's from Yip that both worked perfectly and I never measured that distance once. Is that because in both cases my table/arm combo was the same (Basis/Basis and VPI/VPI)? I just ordered the standard kit for my table/arm combo.
I would send Yip another email, EMPHASIZING the fact that your original measurements were incorrect. I'm sure that will affect proper alignment. I don't think his English is great, with proper emphasis he may better understand your situation. He may have interpreted your original e-mail as a mistake made on his end.
