Precise pivot to spindle distance

Hi!
Does any know a protractor on the market with better resolution than Feickerts. I have a Breuer 8C which demands exactly 231.44 mm according to instructions.
Believe 1mm on Feickert, correct me if I´m wrong.
How much impact on sound I don´t know. Maybe I´m getting paranoid but really want to be certain about wright distance (or not).
Just interested in the P2S distance.

Many Thanks!

Thanks for your response.
Hdm,thanks for your tip but I just want to know about P2S distance not how to calculate arc for cartridge.
I already use Mint Protractor for my combo, but still I would like to measure distance. The sound is fine but the cartridge front is not parallell with headshell to get sweet spot.
Now here is where my paranoia makes me puzzled.
If any has had similar experience I´d be glad to know.
BTW cartridge used is AirTight PC-1.

Many Thanks!

Thanks all for your valuable support.
Hdm, you seem to have a broad experience from different protractors and good advice. So using Mint Protractor will automatically compensate. I´m glad to hear this and also that cartridge front doesn´t neccessary have to be parallell with headshell. My paranoia´s gone away and I saved $250. Think I´ll by a good bottle of Champagne instead.

Happy New Year!
