The Rega main horizontal bearing is a bastard of major proportions. The hole diameter is very small and the metal is stepped so the wires hang up as you try to run them through.

I used a spinal needle and inserted it through the rega wire hole and then feed in the wires. Works slicker that synthetic oil.

You might be able to find some very small gauge tubing for model aircraft that will fit that hole as well.

Hope this helps.

I think running the ground from the rubber plug is great. Just sand everything clean so you get good contact.

I scrapped the rubber piece all together in my arm and ran shrink wrap instead of the crummy black carbon paint.

This really balanced out the frequencies between the midrange and highs. The stock arm sounded very disjointed and I was ready to throw the arm out. Then I saw the mods that Mitchell made and said what the hell.

Removing the paint was really critical to getting the sound natural. They used this stuff simply to hide the poor cast aluminum arm wand. It is one very poor quality casting. They claimed it chokes resonances but it really just chokes the sound quality.

YMMV.
