I called DW and they weren't of any help.
I ended up ordering 2 of the DW memory locks (for 12.7mm vs 10.5mm). My plan is to make a rubber sleeve to consume the extra 2.2mm. I'll update on my success or failure.
I just bought a PDP CX kit, primarily for gigging. They sound better than I expected.
My challenge is that there aren't any memory locks for the mounted toms. I've done lots of online searching and can't seem to locate the right memory locks.
The arms appear to be 10.5 mm, but the tom mount has a beveled bottom (just like my prior DW Collectors). But, the DW Collectors arms are 12.7mm, so those won't work.
I don't think any of the generic 10.5mm locks will work, due to the beveled edge.
Any recommendations?

Any 10.5 mm lock will work. Just snug the mount down on top of it.

Unfortunately, none of the 10.5 mm worked right for me. I have a bunch from various manufacturers. I want to use the memory lock to retain the vertical and horizontal position for quick setup.
The tom mount has a 45 degree angle on the bottom. The correct memory lock is also angled and positions horizontally. DW uses that on the Collectors and it works very well. Just hoping that when I try to adapt the 12.7 mm lock, my plan works. We'll see ...

The DW memory locks (12.7 mm) worked perfectly on my 10.5 mm tom arms, with the help of a little electrical tape to compensate for the size difference.
The DW locks, with the 45 degree angle that matches the bottom of the tom arm mount, allows for re-positioning both vertical and horizontal locations.
