A few extra notes on my original post:
The reason I asked about changing the head pads was that there's someone on
eBay selling the pads for $95 + extra for mounting. I hate the idea of
sending out my head mounts just because I don't have a torque screwdriver
calibrated in femto Newtons.
There is no torque settign given for the haead-to-spring arm screws, for
the simple reason that you ere never expected to remove thos. The torque
setting is for the clamping allen setscrew in the carriage. To be fair,
it;'s nto that critical. I _do_ have a torque wrench that goes down that
low, but I nave never used it for this.It's just worth knowign that the
thing is fairly fragile and not to swing on the end of the allen key.
As I mentiuoned, my main worry would be getting the head disk aligned on
the leaf spring. If it is rotated slightly, the azimuth will be off, and
I think there will be enough free play in the screw holes for that to be a
problem.
