Thanks Jamie but I have just found some up here, from Moss Motors in case anyone else is looking for BMC parts.
The keepers are for a 1500 Ford, have a set of narrow stem stainless inlet valves and the Midget keepers are a perfect fit.
Looking forward to a good 2014 for all of us!

Thanks Grant, will take a look at that site. I like that you can get parts now that duplicate the dimensions and specs of parts of period years but have more strength and reliability.

Grant , When I ran the 2 anglias in pre 65 , things like good valve springs, valves, keepers & retainers all came from good ole mother england, even the good roller rockers I was the only one venturing out to get the horse power all was available from uk , Kevin Bann [Mr Kelford Cam Tech] was right behind me always , trying different things even the down port, really got it to fly ,not to mention Alby Collier & local Grant Fitzpatrick up the front a head of the lotus cortinas & a few v/8s... have fun 138 mph was our bench mark at Puke
