The prop centre bearing doesn't have captive nuts as standard as far as I remember? there are two plates with studs that go through the transmission tunnel.
So I would be tempted to remove the captive nuts and use stiff nuts as per the original set up.

The 2 plates are bolted to captives on the centre bearing outer housing. The only problem with the 10mm captives is finding a couple of short 10mm bolts to go in them. I've fitted, one way and another, 5 or 6 of these repro bearings, a couple have been supplied to me by my propshaft specialist of choice, Proptech in Hartlebury. But it's my impression that he gets them from Dave Mac, who seems to have more or less cornered the market, the way Baines have with screen seals.
So far, my customers and I have been satisfied with them, deeply as I suspect anything repro which is of rubber/metal construction, these seem to be holding up well. The one on the Carledo has been thrashed mercilessly for 10 years and still looks and works fine!
