MintLP arc protractor

I'm talking to Yip about a protractor for a Rega RB-300 mounted on a VPI HW-19 Mark III. To verify the desired 222mm spindle to pivot distance I cut a piece of cardboard 222mm in length. I measured from the spindle to the center of the armboard mounting hole. It looks to be spot on at 222mm. Is there a more accurate way to measure so that I can confirm my initial findings?

I'm trading emails with Yip at the present time. I can only be so confident in my measurements. Even if off by a mm I assume that adjustment in the headshell slots and whatever minor movement is available with the VPI armboard should be enough to dial it in. Does this sound reasonable?

Polk432, "The mint LP will be more accurate. It is worth the money."

Perhaps true but not the question of my original post. Yip is insistent on the correct spindle to pivot distance and I want to be certain that I've measured 222mm correctly before placing the order. It doesn't take much error to be a mm off.
