Default Patriot super 7 retainer on PRC dual?!?

Just got my PRC springs in to repair my car that had 3 broken inner patriot springs. FML, I didn't read that I needed to reuse stock valve locks and I can only find 28 of the needed 32(did the original cam swap back in '04). I have all of the Patriot locks and titanium retainers and the retainers seem to fit the same with a quick comparo, I am only wondering about install height differences. Anyone done this or anyone know for sure why this could work? If I can get by without buying locks I would like to.

Thanks,
greg

Those locks will NOT work with our retainer. Let me if you cannot find stock locks locally and I can rush some out to you!

I know the locks wont, I was wondering if the Patriot retainer and locks would work on the PRC springs?

No sir, our retainers are not compatible with their springs and vice versa.
