Btr 660 retainer differences ?

Ordered a new retainer, spoke with the sales agent at btr. This is what they sent me... did they make a revision or did I get the wrong one?

I would call them and send them the picture. Maybe your retainer wasn’t a btr retainer. The one on the bottom is a btr. Is the one above it yours??

There is a difference in the "step height" of the two retainers which will change the spring load.

I'd give them a call, or you could just order a set and replace all of them since your original one shows some decent wear from the spring rubbing on it..
