Quick possible dumb question about retainers/locks

I bought a set of Patriot Gold Duals on here for a killer deal with the anticipation of upgrading my cam. But if I don't I would hate to waste these nice springs on my wimpy under .580 lift cam and might re-use my PAC beehives.

If I were to reuse the PACs could I use the patriot titanium retainers/matching locks?

i know my 918's had a different part # for the titanium retainers compared to the 921's and so on so i don't know if those would work. hope this helps you out some.

the retainers for the beehives and the dual springs are totally different. The locks should be the same.

+1 The duals are different retainers than the 918s . Also other valve springs not all but some come as a kit from respected manufacturer made different sizes just to sell more parts or kits .
