Have a look at lorry U/Js the next time you go passed one - they usually have an angle, and are subjected to huge torque loads without a problem.
Have a word with a U/J supplier before writing off the idea of running your prop at an angle.

Hi Mike,
I meant to add a link in my last answer.....

It seems that you can have large working angles but the difference between the working angles must be < 1 degree.
I wasn't planning on using a rubber doughnut so that was not affecting my thinking.
I'll try dropping the back of the gearbox and see if that gives me enough clearance. Ian's already mentioned that the M50 runs in the BMW at an angle pointing down at the back, so that should not be a problem.
But apart from the price, I am getting quite keen on the Iruna servo option.
I hope to try some more options later this week.....
