Don'tknow of any but can't see any reason why not. If it's not been done on a Phoenix then it will have in a Striker. Try asking on
JPSC forum and Sylva chat list
With prop alignment it's important that the diff and engine flanges are parallel to each other although the centre line is best offset a little
so there is some angle in the UJs.

I agree with Adi,
I don't have a zx12, but here is my prop in my Phoenix square tube chassis.
Passed SVA, 2k miles (about), 2x trackdays, no vibration (beyond a hard mounted bike engine).
Final mounts were metal (not wood!), but positions the same.

Thanks for the photos Matt, it's easier to see the layout on a bare chassis, mine is a conversion from Toyota 4age.

Here is a link to the technical stuff on the bailey morris site.
The first bit is saying what Adrian says.
Regarding maximum angle, I don't know what they are but the Phoenix chassis is pretty tight, and my prop uses most of it!
