Carl, are you talking about the retainers on top of the spring, or the
collars that go between the spring and the head ?

I could be mistaken, but as I recall, both of the "3 spring" collars can be
used with the later double-spring sets.  The extra step is simply unused.
It does make a snug fit into the inner spring, but works.  For a long time,
only double-spring sets were available, so I did the conversion back in 76
or so.
