Indeed the duplex can rattle - it can also be run with the tensioner if you wish.
And - to avoid making 'ordinary' Controllers feel inferior - the Gentleman in Question is now to be called Sir Topam Hatt. I had the great pleasure of carrying the admittedly rather 'rotund' Gentleman on our footplate today!

Someone needs to apply a mechanism to this thread to take up the slack.
There is far too much clatter!

How does the tensioner plate pivot on two fixed points then?
My plate is the same as Linearaudio showed and the A+ front plate on minispares has a pretty big hole to take the pin head.
Apologies and thanks to minispares as well.....

Just the one fixed hole - for the head of the pin - and two slotted holes in the bracket! Simples!!
