To solve the loose rear indicator problem I traced it to the metal spacer tube inside the rubber sleeve being to long allowing the rubber sleeve to be loose when the whole unit was tight.
There is two ways to solve this as the picture shows...
1) Make a 5mm spacer washer to shorten the length.
2) Saw 5mm off the metal tube to make it shorter.

I did the longer method (to keep the tubes original) and made two 5mm spacers and now the indicators are how they should have been, tight enough to not to slowly rotate downwards.
This is a serious safety issue with led units as if they rotate just a little downwards they can not be seen clearly from behind, even though working ok.
They should have put locating pins in the housings so they were always in the correct position. I might do this over the winter.
