Indeed, it could have been disasterous!!!! looking at the loose one, it was the rivot that holds them on the post that was worn! a bad design IMO!
Here we have another case with the "updated" intake manifold. They can brake too.

It may be the weather, but since I did my flaps, I am consistently getting around 10% better fuel consumption.
