I just checked the manual on Vinyl Engine and;
Your arm has effective length of 240mm and overhang of 15mm, so mounting distance (pivot to spindle) is 240-15= 225mm.
You can put your tonearm around the platter wherever position you want as long as it is mounting hole center is 225mm from platter spindle.If you have a plinthless turntable and seperate arm pod your choice is wherever you want, if your turntable has a plinth you should choose a mounting place;
a-which is inside the borders of the plinth
b-if you usea any lid, care not to obstruct it's use
c-not too front because it increases the possibility of accidental stylus damage
d- aestethics
So, drill a hole 38-39mm diameter which it's center is 225mm from spindle then check the arm for 105mm. and 199mm which means the arm rest part will face at the right angle to front.I think these numbers are for the tonearm swiveling freely without any end stops over the record from beginning to end.
Good luck,
Hakan
