Anyone got one retainer and a couple of keepers they can part with?

Thanks

Yes, trying something different.  Can you part with them?

Yoshimura F2 spring kits came with steep angle keepers and hard anodized retainers. I'm sure you can cross reference some different (and better) keepers and machine Ti retainers. That would be nice.

That's what I'm working on.  No matter how nice we make the retainer with perfect taper, etc, the keeper fit is just bad.

Pulled them loose from a bin of spare parts. Just want to confirm that K8 and F2 used same keeper/retainer, and the keepers have that funny ridge on the face that holds the valve stem? I'm sure the answer is yes and yes, just like to cover the bases  ;)

Sending one retainer and two keepers. Have the seat and springs too if ya need them. Otherwise just the ret/keepers  :)
