Anyone know where I can get one Ti spring retainer? I have a set of PRC dual springs from TSP that came on a motor I bought. One of the retainers is damaged and I need to order just one. Anyone have any idea where I could get just one? I tried calling Texas Speed a while back but their number would not work.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.

The patriot retainers use the super 7 locks and the TSP's use the stock style. I personally would not mix and match them.
OP: If you can't get through on the phone send an email to one of the guys in sales or try PM'ing one of them here. I would think TSP can get you a single replacement retainer.

I talked to Matt at TSP and he said it was one of the patriots after we e-mailed him some pictures. Matt said he measured one of every retainer they had and non were like the ones in the pics. I ended up ordering one patriot, but it was not right. It does use the stock locks. I sent TSP a PM today with the same detailed pictures in hopes of getting the right retainer soon.
This is the only thing holding my car back at the moment. Here are the pics I sent them, plus some pictures of the springs. I hope SOMEONE can help me because I need a retainer ASAP.

It came with the PRC dual .660 lift package from TSP in Jan 2007. I still haven't heard back from any e-mails or PM's. I am starting to get irritated. Does anyone know who manufactures the Ti retainers for that package so I can go direct? Im tired of waiting around.
I don't want to risk running that retainer and dropping a valve.

Negative. I already checked, we don't have anything that comes close to that thing. My only guess was that it was a Patriot, because that ID is HUGE compared to the standard lock stuff we do, and it would have made some sense that it was a Super 7 setup.

I am wondering if it was measured wrong by the guy who did my heads. The previous owner is positive he ordered the prc .660's from you guys in 2007. The locks that are used are also the stockers. I may just have to order one of every retainer yall have to get this thing right.
I am having the previous owner get his invoice number in hopes of tracking the order down so we canfigure this out.

If you doubt the measurement, check it 
The ID of our retainers are under .5"....it should be VERY clear if your is .9x" or under .5" even with a tape measure.
