Thanks for all the good info on this. I reckon I will keep my eye out for a more 'assembly line' part.
I'll keep watch on the eBay part anyway.
BTW, how does one go about pulling apart the ring that the cable attaches to? Is one side better to open then the other?
Being that they are spring loaded, I don't want to damage them. Or were they made with the cable attached already??
Thanks

Hold the pin securely without marking it and pull out on one side of the ring near where it goes in the hole. I haven't pulled these apart but done plenty like them.

If anybody was wondering, the eBay listing ended with a selling price of $338.00
Way too rich for me :(
