I've looked at his design and it has a major flaw in it, the butterfly axles are still rotating in the plastic housing, so they are still wearing out there and that's where the rattles come from. I've been thinking it out for a couple of days and I do have the answer but I'll need to knock one up and try it on my V6. In 2010 I suspect that the wear on the butterflies and spindles wouldn't be too great, in 2020 it's likely to be the major issue with repairs.
