Fidelity Research FR64s Headshell dilemma

Dear FR64S users can you help me please. I have an FR64S that i bought without a headshell. I have only just got round to getting it mounted. I did pivot to spindle distance of 231.5 (the alternative distance' I also have an armboard for 230.
I tried a Sony headshell that i had - it was 2mm short of correct alignment. So I bought a new Jelco headshell it was also too short. 
CAn you tell me what headshell does work to allow other cartridges to work. I'm just using a DL103 for alignment first as I fettle the rest of my front end.

thanks

Nandric, did you chase people off again?

Karma....

Karl D, not sure you'll see this, but I have a decent KSP sitting in a box waiting for me to figure something out...so I just bought a very nice FR 64S in a general auction (it was mounted on a Luxman PD-441 table)...and I have a PD-444 too...

I'm going tp try the RSP with the FR64s on the 444...not sure what that sauce will sound like.

Q: what head shell did you end up with for the FR64S? I looked at your gear and see that you've moved to a Kuzma TT, et al, so just wondering, as my experience is nil on all of this. Thanks. M-
