changing the lanyard without changing the key????

[brock1]

Both of my lanyards are missing the plastic around them that makes them coil up...so is there any way to just change the lanyard coil without changing the key??? I looked at it last night but it looks like a project so what have you guys done and how did you do it

There have been threads in the past. You can buy the universal non dess lanyards for like 5 bucks on eBay. Then you cut the end of yours off with the cap and swap it over. I'll try to search for the old threads.

this is correct, just connect the key to a new lanyard.

This is what I ended up using. Bully Motorcycle disc lock reminder. Was $6 at the local dealer. Used a zip tie to hold the key to the cable then bought a stainless steel quick clip to clip to the driver. $11 total with the quick clip and it is pretty stout.

I just used the excessivly long zip tie (14") from scotch brand I believe since they're a bit wider than the smaller 8" and 6", these can be found at a local hardware store or Home Depot. They have at least a 50lb tensil strength. Also get a name brand, we get some free zip ties with some parts at an audio shop I work at, they break apart just zip tiing something together.

Edit: The 14" have a 75lb tensil strength.
