I do not have an adjustment for horizontal skew. Seriously consider the ‘universal’ motor mount designed by Paul Lamar. It uses ball joints that would allow adjustment in any direction. (http://www.rotaryeng.net ) http://www.rotaryeng.net/uni-mm.html 
I never measured the adjustment allowed, but probably +/- a degree or so.
The mounts at the front of the engine (rear in your case) consists of a beam across the engine, with rubber mounts at the end, so that is no problem
I live in Montana now, plane based at Stevensville (32S) airport.

This is a very interesting setup.  So you  have the ability to change the engine tilt and thus vertical thrust line with this bracketry.  Simple and ingenious, congratulations!  I do have some additional questions if you don't mind.

Do you have a similar setup for horizontal skew? 
How much freedom does your setup provide? 
Do you tilt the hardmounts on the engine to match or use some of the shock absorber puck flex to achieve the required tilt?
Finally, where are you based from?  I'm in Newport, RI (KUUU).

Thanks for sharing!
