I have bolted up the prop and am not sure if the angles are correct. Will it spin round OK or shake itself to bits?

No

NOPE!

the bearing needs to be @ 90 degrees to the prop.

doesnt seem that much angle to me?

bearing is rubber mounted in its housing...

Here is mine when I had the bike engine in.

Some info on Propshaft Angles Here

From the picture yours doesn't look right!!!!

Any propshaft angles should not add up to more than 7.

Cheers.

So should I make up some new angled spacers so that the prop closest to the engine is at 90 degrees to the bearing?

To add: MK had my engine when they made the cradle so must have known the positions. They also made the spacers and the prop. So just wondering why they would go to so much trouble making it wrong

we're all yapping up different trees here! Theres nowt wrong with the propshaft angles, its nearly straight.

If you are worried about the angle of the bearing housing, just straighten it up. I bolted mine to the bottom of my tunnel so it was nearly straight, rather than to the slanted side of the tunnel. You may have to mess about drilling new holes and making different spacers though. Id leave it unless the rubber is at the limit of its flex. There are no moving parts here anyway, since its a fixed diff and a fixed engine.

I agree, get the bearing as straight as you can. Other wise it will vibrate.

Different kit, similar problem. Angled shims sorted me out.
