OOOPs...should have remember !  :-[
Thank you John.
Tough a bit pricey for an eye candy.

A google search yields from $2.25 up to 5.00 a pop.
Have to put my thinking cap on to find a substitute.

Any idea Guys?

Not sure how many you want, but you could call Sporty's and ask if they do quanity discounts. A lot of times I call vendors and ask this question, as well as ask if they do competitive pricing because I am looking for the best deal. Most offer me a great price and were happy I asked because they wanted me too buy from them... Old saying goes "it don't hurt to ask".

"locking" variety and rings are two different things  ;)

Hi Jack,

Just seen in Canadian Tire soft rubber (plastic) color key rings for 39c each. They are a bit bigger but I guess could be cut and made smaller. I will try to use them for my breakers.
