Default Crane 10308 springs

Well I bought some Crane 10308 springs from a guy on this board. I have used these springs several times on several different builds. I have always bought them as a kit with retainers and locks. I thought I was doing the same again...turns out no, I just got the springs. Does anyone know what retainers are compatible with these springs or know the part number for the crane retainers that come with these springs? Seeing that Crane is no longer around, I might have to use different retainers...

he also told me to use the Comp 4770-16 locators. Gives the springs a lower install height and a little more seat pressure.
