I put my indicators on today in the only place that i am happy with them.
The angle is a bit odd but i don't see anything in MOT inspections that would be an issue. Just wanted to run it by you guys as a 2nd opinion. They look fine from the front as you can see..



But the actual angle from above is as such:


Raw knuckles and sore knees

As long as it can be seen from the front and side without obstruction it should be fine
I'm in my buggy,
It's raining,
I really don't care.

There are 'rules' relating to cars firs used after some time in 1986.  If you are able to keep the original details then I guess they don't apply, but it might be worth checking what you have against these anyway.
The main points appear to be sections 2 & 3 of the attached.  Section 2 - position, as in how far in from the edge of the vehicle etc.  Section 3 - Angle of visibility.  This might be an issue with the lamps pointing inwards a touch.   
There's a diagram at the bottom of the page on the link to explain the angles.

It's a LWB FF Dave, he should be fine without one

In that case, wouldn`t worry about them   ;)
