Sodding fiddly tweaking... gnash gnash (HELP!)

Hi folks.
Still not quite got the TT right. Does anyone know anything about Aro tonearms in conjunction with Lyra cartridges?
I'm trying to work out what the correct anti-skate should be for a Lyra Helikon - first, second or third notch away from the arm cup when tracking at around 1.6g... logic says first or second notch (1.5 or 1.75g) but as it's a real pain trying to alter this I'd prefer to get some ideas first (ever tried re-making that little loop that attaches the little weight to the notched rod? A real trial of dexterity which I don't recommend...)
Also, the little weight to the left of the cup (forget what it's called) seems to make relatively tiny differences to how the Aro:Helikon rides in the groove - does anyone know where this should be for a cartridge of approx. 8g - I'm guessing 2mm from 'minimum' (i.e. 2mm away from the closest-to-cup setting) - but I no longer have the little level which sits on the top of the bearing housing so I'm having to do adjustments by eye and by ear.
'Twere never this difficult in my Akito days...
