Floppy rear footrests.

Like the o ring idea! Good way to use some of that bigger thick o rings in that kits that’s unlikely to be used for anything else. I remember too once applying a very light smearing or silicon grease to help the rubber slide a bit too underneath the rubber.

The O ring idea sounds a neat solution.👍

I prefer the plastic washer solution myself but can see the appeal of the oring.
The reason I prefer the plastic washer was it would also protect the new paintwork which the oring solution wouldn't do. Nothing worse for me than damaging new paintwork when you've gone to all that trouble to do it.

Yes indeed Ken! Inevitably the corners of the brackets lose their paint.

Would a plastic washer work for a floppy kick start too? It's a bit different I suppose as it doesn't have the rubber footrest, but might help squeeze it all together.
