I have two different 1911 clones I want to put lanyard loops on (Taurus and Rock Island tactical).  

Any ideas as to whether a surplus msh would fit either or both?

(I searched "lanyard" here and didn't find anything....have mercy if this has been covered before! )

You have two options replace mainspring housing with one with a loop or brownell's sells a kit for you to drill your own housing and add one. Most housings will swap without fitting or issues.

A mainspring housing swap is usually not a big deal.  One of the few cases where drop in parts actually drop in.

No guarantees, however.

Another option is to buy a new main spring housing from Smith & Alexander.  They offer housings with GI type lanyard rings installed.
They offer arched and flat in various materials.

I used this MSH on a RIA to make it look more 'G.I'. Worked fine. Probably one of the more economical ones you'll find.

Here it's the lower one, with a Remington Rand above.

Check out MARS amrs for an integral lanyard and magwell...good kit.  The S&A lanyard is a loop like a GI on their magwell.
