If I am understanding you correctly, the motor is leaning a little vs. being perfectly parallel with the spur? Perhaps this is partly due to the weight of the motor? What motor is it? When you land a jump, this distance may become greater due to flex in the motor mount. It is hard to say without actually seeing it, but if the angle plate is thick enough, the flex should be minimal(if the plate isn't think enough, the issue will worsen under high stress as I just mentioned). You could also place a washer under the low side of the new motor mount, to bring it back to level.
Thanks for the welcome. You've got a nice site.
I'm actually just getting ready to construct it. I just looked at it again and I realized that it was just excess material from when it was previously cut. So it is a non issue. The angle aluminum that I got is 1/4" so it shouldn' flex but hopfully it's not too thick either.
