Nobody makes a steel one...

Only place I knew of that even had new 2.3L T5 bearing retainers was Hanlon Motorsports, but I don't know if they still have them. Try giving them a call.

What could Hanlon do for the 2.3 T5 retainer? I've got a 2.3 T5 from an '88 with a 919 casting retainer, and Hanlon basically told me I was SOL when I spoke to them. Of course that was over a month ago, so maybe something has changed?

Honestly, I didn't think they still had them either. I bought one a couple years ago and was told it was among the last they had.
