2nd tonearm on HRX

Hi all, I would like to add a second tonearm to my VPI HRX, can anybody give me some advice on how to do it?
Would a stand alone armpod be a good idea?
The table is on a Symposium Ultra platform, and the stand alone armpod would also sit on the same platform, somebody say the armboard should be connected to the plynth, but how can I do that?
Thank you all, and forgive my english.

Hi Downunder, the HRX plinth is a sanwich of acrylic-aluminium-acrylic, do you think it's possible to drill holes without damaging it?
More precisely, I would need to drill holes on the acrylic in order to bolt an armboard to the aluminium center layer, do you think that's doable?

Dear Raul, thanks for your reply, I read many of your posts, you are an inspiration. Yes I know I should probably change TT, one day I'll do it, but that day is not today, sigh. Long time ago I had an Acoustic Signature Analog 1 Mk2 that I sold, now I regret it, go figure...
Anyway, just wanted to find a way to add an extra tonearm, one with a detachable headshell to play with different carts, that will still be here when that day will come...but maybe you're right, I should give up...

Thanks Pcosta, did a search on the web and found a pic of Peter Ledermann's HRX, that's exatly the idea I was looking for, I'm going to email him for suggestions, I may even end up ordering one of his carts.....Thanks again,
