Cracked chainring

Some how i've managed to crack through my chain ring today while riding right through between the teeth. I think the cranks i have on my bike are some old strong light ones. In which case as i understand its not going to be easy to find a replaement. Which is not ideal.

Does anyone know where i could either get a replacement that wont cost the earth or alternativley does anyone have a cheap set of cranks going?

You need to tell people what size they are. Do you know the BCD?

Are those old stronglight 80s? yeah. the rings are toss. I think theyre made of popcorn. I should have a 48t ring you can have, but you'd be better getting something stronger/better.
