retainers and locks?

just got my new dual spring kit in today from John at TSP.
This kit didnt come with new locks . I called John on it and he said i should use my stock ones.is this correct? seems like alot of money to not even come with locks.

thanks, Matt

I reused my stock keepers with comp 918's in my old setup with out any problems. I haven't read of any one that had a problem with the stock keepers, I've never seen after market keepers for sale from any of the sponsors that I buy from including TSP. You should get some TI retainers for the springs.

Yeah, nobody has problems with reusing the stockers. You can order a set for under 20 bucks if you really want new ones though.

I don't really see the keepers going bad. They aren't a wear item.

I always buy the machined locks, good insurance for the $30. Just my opinion though.

If you can afford it, get ti retainers and locks. Give Erik at HPE a call 281 448 1300. He can get just about anything you want.
