So i got ten of these off of ebay.

I'm going to make cutaways our of them, but does anyone know how to best take them apart? There appears to be some sort of ring clipped in, I tried drilling but no dice yet (I'll Drill deeper later...)

I think I may just have to drill a little deeper, but I was just wondering if anyone had any other thoughts.

Thanks in advance, you won't hear from me for a while, I'm catching a plane tonight, and won't be back till the 23rd. I'm off to Mexico, I'll try and take some pics of any interesting locks I see.

Sorry about the pic quality, I was in a hurry!

Cheers!

I tried searching, but I'll dig a little deeper again.

You have to lift out those crescents, they slide into a groove cut into the plug

Excellent, so I'm not ruining it by drilling it.

Thanks a bunch,
