How to mount the BGM?

I'm finding the instructions a little unclear.

Looking at p. 7 of the manual to determine the height of the block ...

The table lists 2" for an 8" grinder, but is this the gap between the top of the block and the wheel centre (given as S in the diagram) or the height of the block (the table title)?

S is said to be the same for 8 and 10" grinders, and grinder mount heights vary, so I'm guessing the former is the way to go.

How have other users set theirs up?

Since the base and motor configuration are different on every different grinder, measuring to the centerline of the wheel is the easiest way to get a universal standard. 

The top of the block that the horizontal base is to be fixed to should be 2 inches below the centerline of the grinder.  This would apply to any 8 inch or 10 inch grinder.
