I used short sections of large diameter "shrink-fit" insulating spaghetti from Dickies that I heat-shrunk onto the pointer body where the Lumicon's alignment screws held it - result, no slip and stable/rigid alignment.

I'll have to try the heat shrink tubing. Right now I'm using some flexible poly tubing with a slit in the side, cut into two pieces and slipped over the pointer. It has a little to much flexure, which the heat shrink tube wouldn't have.
