rocker arm caps

Ive been searching up and down for somewhere to buy all new retaining clips to replace the old plastic retainers, im just wondering if anyone knows where to buy or if anyone is selling there old rocker arms that have the metal retainers,
Reason being that my old plastic one keep breaking and spending a fortune on one rocker arm to have it break again is getting crazy.
So if anyone here know what I can do to fix this, it would be very much appreciated, no luck in junk yards either, I believe the only models that had them were the late 06s and up.
Thanks in advance.

Sorry you can't get them without getting the entire rocker arm. As they get old they get brittle and break.
I keep rockers in stock just in case we have one break when doing a head job.

Do you guys sell the newer style with the metal retainers? And do you know if I can buy the whole entire rocker arm set together, or do most vendors sell by piece, thank you

The newest rockers use the plastic retainers, they phased out the metal retainers early on in production.

We have some of the plastic retainers in stock as well as the rocker caps, I can help you out with those instead of trying to sell you a whole rocker. PM me if you're interested in a couple.
