Default Help!!! What locks to use with Patriot retainers?

Hey guys I need some help here. I have a brand new Patriot Dual Spring kit but 2 locks have not been machined properly. I need to get 2 locks ASAP-does anyone know what lock will work so I can order a set locally? I emailed Gunnar but I haven't heard back from him yet-being up here in Canada is what makes this such a pain so if anyone has a part # from a leading brand that would help out alot-thanks!

I believe they use the Super 7 lock. Unfortunately, I think you need to wait for Gunnar to respond. Maybe they can ship them quickly, they should fit in a Priority Mail envelope.

I can pull a couple off My heads and mail them to You tonight if that helps at all. I feel Your pain, one of My locks wasn't finished on the inside lower if that makes any sense. Gunnar was good to send Me the part I needed. Let Me know if this will be helpful to You. Carl.

Awesome Gunnar! You still keep my faith in the industry. He helped us out in a similar fashion when I was rebuilding the heads now on our Camaro, and was a God-send.
