Default 10* beadlock valve locks?

Has anyone used a 10* bead lock before, and if so where did you find them? I see comp cams is coming out with one, but summit told me it would be a month before they were available.

I need a retainer to fit my K-Motion K800 springs, and all the retainers that will work are 10*.

Greg,

We have been using the Manley .311 bead locks, It will fit a .3135 pretty tight though. We centerless grind the tips of our valves to .311 so the variety is there. B&B will have some too, but around the same time as COMP.


You are kinda stuck. titanium is hard to grind, but a good grind shop can do it.

Comp has a 7degree retainer to fit the 987 spring I believe which was made to fit the stock keepers, you may want to look into that.
