They might just have glued em in as it was a sunday night and they didnt have an o ring handy... or they could be ruined and leak like sieves. I think we all know what you will do tho... get em out and then work out what you need to do to fix it, from a reglue to an insert via just a simple new o ring...

I do wonder if that bathroom sealant remover would help? that or paint stripper?

If it's soft silicone sealer simply leave overnight in a tin on petrol
If the bush has worn and been chattering it wears a groove in the barrel and is sloppy after that but hopefully just a shitty repair that a new bush and o ring will sort out

They look fine
I've seen them with either a full groove where the o ring sits or worn away where the back of the bush has been chattering

That looks nice. I've always liked early Pv wheels in an Lc - the original hybrid wheel swap !

I still can't make out the wires, but its likely the indicator cancelling unit. Wires are yellow/red trace, white/green trace, brown, black and yellow/green trace

I like round as Headcoats said, but out of the two, small for me, makes the rear look neater. Andy.

It’s funny isn’t it? We are all different. I really like the F/N 2 indicators. The small ones just look like cheap nasty generic items.
I have to agree with OEM units though as my preference. Hell I’m even going to use an uncut stem on my latest hybrid. Trying to keep as many things OEM to offset the other modifications.

I agree with Jon, Ive done that 'big inds' look before and liked it.
I do like the F/N2 inds actually on this, its 'period' etc.
Didnt someone (Dusty?) find some smaller round ones from M and P or somewhere?
