Doesn't the spring pressure (once installed) keep the rubber isolators flat? .....

I think the isolator's locking lugs should be in the 6 o'clock position to work properly. On the Indian arms (shown here) they've gone too far past 6 o'clock.

If I turn the isolator so that they are at 6 o'clock, then the drain holes don't line up.

The other point is - because the drain holes on the Indian arms have been moved 10mm closer to the outboard side, then the bottom centre of the spring has also been moved 10mm closer to the outboard side. So the spring is not sitting at the same angle on the Indian arms as it was on the factory arms - it's being moved further off the vertical. This might or might not be important - I don't know. :shrug:
