G'day Muskrat,
They look similar to the ones that were on my first '61 S/Rocket,
they were called durall collars (might not be correct spelling),
I didn't won't to use the old ones, so had a friend make the new
ones up,

regards, Cus

G'day Muskrat,
They used S/rocket springs & collets. The pick at the bottom of the retainers, are the original ones,
I first purchased standard retainers, springs etc. for S/r, but the springs were becoming coil bound
with the high hat retainer set-up, so had replicas made, & all was good. No one could tell me why
the standard set-up was not working!
