I apologize if this has been asked before but I am really interested in buying a Bronze XM Horse clip and bronze standoffs and installing them on my ZT 0560. They look like they will fit but has anyone tried it?

Thanks in advance!

That's what I get for looking at pictures of a 0550 instead of an 0560...

The clip would require at least 1 additional hole drilled and tapped. Might require some bending too as I believe it would be quite loose if not inset in the handle.

I don't know why an additional hole would need to be drilled and tapped. The XM clip fits on a 560/561 without any additional modification AFAIK.
 
Little bending required on the XM clip but once installed it feels and looks better. The stonewashed clip color wise appears to be in between the blade and Ti lockbar so it blends in nicely.
 
It would appear that the standoffs fit however the hardware is the issue.
Using the existing hardware shows the female piece is too long preventing a tight fit.

Should the female hardware be ground down it may fit better...
