      Good idea really simple and effective.
      Back in the day we used two wood screws with flat heads that the trem base plate rested on.
      Really? well screw Mark Twain.

        And forget about using more than two springs (I typically use three or four) as

        I am tempted to try tis on a cheap guitar though.

        Well it does state you might need heavier springs
        but about rattling when disengaged: nothing an elastic band from the handle to the tremclaw wouldn't fix
        or a drop of glue to make it pinch

          If it can't be done with WD40 and duct tape...then it can't be done!

            I'm sure that a little WD40 and duct tape on the locking barrel would keep it from rattling!

              When it can't be done: that's when a hammer comes in handy!

                It would be hard to fit a hammer in the trem cavity to block it. You'd have to find a really small hammer..
