If they are Patriot's they should have retainers, bases, seals, and locks.

No, you can not use your oem retainers or locators. you can reuse your locks but that's it. Contact one of the vendors for some locators and retainers.

Maybe just call Patriot and order the retainers/locators and locks from them?
