Attaching the Car key to other keys

[Beachbum]

What are people using to attach the car key to other keys?
The usual metal ring seems not to fit the Lotus car key, I have tried both large and small rings, with no luck
Wondered if others have had a similar issue and tried other successful options

Interested to hear what they may be.

Hope that explains it OK. I was pretty easy

Many thanks for the info. That helps a lot. I'll hold fire until the flexible stuff is back in stock and then get a few extra crimps just in case!

Given I provided the info, thought I'd ask them when they were getting the 1mm 7x19 back in stock. Turns out they arent
They however do thinner wire, that "allegedly" will still work with the 1mm Crimps

Stainless Steel Micro Wire 0.54mm 1mm 1.5mm 2mm

Stainless Steel Micro Wire also known as bowden cable is available in 0.54mm 1mm 1.5mm 2an 2m diameters buy yours today

Unfortunately its still the 7x7 that I listed earlier, but thinner, so more flexible. Given the price, I would suggest ordering at least the 1mm and the 0.81mm and then maybe the 0.72 and then a number of the Crimps, to see which works best.

They also do this stuff:

Miniature Clear NYLON 11 Stainless Steel Wire Rope 7x7 - Micro Wire

Miniature Clear NYLON 11 stainless steel wire rope known also as micro wire is available to buy per meter 0.54mm 1mm 1.5mm and 2mm diameters

But no idea how well the plastic sleeving will work with regards to overall thickness

Thanks for going the extra mile on the research! I'll do as you suggested as I'm sure the postage will be the main cost.
