Keeper broke during cam swap

Was getting my cam (and other stuff) done this last week and he ran into a problem. One of the keepers broke. Any idea how to get just 1 piece? They are from a Patriot "Gold" .650" Lift Dual Spring Kit.

I am going to see if i can find Patriot's site as well.

So you have the super 7 locks? If so Patriot can get you a replacement cheap.

i've had this happen to me on a few to many times and it hasn't always been with the super 7 locks. I think there's just a error in the manufacturing process. Also most Patriot kit i've ordered have had a few extra keepers thrown in the box with the springs, retainers and seals.
