Question Security fob

Does anybody know of a source of fob shells or some way of putting the fob back on the keyring when it breaks off?

2nd choice I guess would leave it in your riding jacket pocket...

my fob is zip tied to my riding boot ( top eyelet, on the inside)- that way i always have it.

If you have a helmet, you could always look to put it in the liner maybe

You could look for a small key case or something similar, to put your broken fob in and give you something with an alternative loop for hanging it. I'd keep it on a lanyard round your neck in future. The expensive alternative is to get a new factory replacement fob.

I had a fob that broke off the key ring. I used a small pointed awl and a propane torch. I heated the awl and slowly melted the pieces back together. SLOW is the keyword here. Too much heat and it's done for
