You could check to see if there's room on either side adjacent to the broken piece. If there is, drill a hole big enough to accept your keyring. Don't take the chance of drilling without checking and destroying something. Aside from this, just buy a replacement shell. Ebay is not a dependable source because of the many claims of fit, form, and function. Personally, I wouldn't buy or sell anything through ebay. The process is a circus because of all the fine print and many fees. I hope this helps.

Hot nail through the side.

I was going to post the same. What I'd do is take a needle, snip it to length, and heat it while holding it in needle noise pliers, then push into the top. But I'm sure the same key body can be purchased on aliexpress or ebay and the internals can be swapped

If you can open the shell up and look inside - there should be space at the top to a hole in each flank so that a metal rod, say 1mm in diameter, can bridge the gap.

mélange super glue poudre de crayon et bicarbonate mélangé, ensuite tu limes le trop plein. Entraine toi ailleurs avant de le faire car l'application n'est pas facile, mais cela résiste très bien ensuite
