|
|
Looking to get a new set of retainers for my Std size berg dual springs. I've seen the aluminum, titanium, and chromoly ones. Aluminum seem to soft to me, titanium are pricey and overkill. I have a brand new set of stock retainers already, and was wondering if they'd be strong enough? Or should I drop the extra $$ for some chromoly. |

Dropping the extra coin for the chromoly ones is small to dropping the valves.

Everyone is gifted. Some just do not open the package.
Looks like it was painted with a live chicken,polished with a brick and buffed with a pine cone |

Stock retainers will not work on dual springs. You need retainers made for duals. Bugpack makes a nice set #4048 _________________ 2017 Street Comp Champion - Thunder Valley Raceway Park - Noble, OK
