Mounting Triplanar Tonearm to SME 20/2 Turntable

I just got a Triplanar U2 SE tonearm and am wondering how to mount it to my 20/2.  
The arm board I have is for an SME tonearm.  Until now I've had a SME IV mk vi mounted.  
After removing the SME arm I used the TP jig to see approximate location of the three holes.
Two of the holes land on the aluminum of the board and the third one is in the open hole in the center.  
It does not seem likely that I will be able to use the SME arm board for the TP arm.  Unless using only two holes to mount it will be enough???
I've also wondered about using 3M high bond tape to fix the arm to the board.  I use this tape in my profession and find it to be of excellent strength and longevity.  This doesn't mean that it's an acceptable application.  Just curious.    
In searching these forums and internet searches I have not been able to find a TP compatible arm board for use on an SME TT.  
Please share any info you might have.  Thanks!

Dear @snackeyp : First than all contact directly to SME asking for advise(help I think they will help you:

enquiries@sme.co.uk   or  +44(0) 1903 814321

In the other side you can do it only with those two holes or with the 3M tape but you don’t lost nothing to contact to the manufacturer of your TT.

Regards and enjoy the MUSIC NOT DISTORTIONS,
