Zero Tolerance and Hinderer - parts/accessories interchange?

I've owned some Zero Tolerance knives for awhile, but I've just recently purchased a few Hinderer knives. I know that Hinderer has a lot of options - both from Hinderer and third-party - for user customization. Zero Tolerance has some options, but not as many.

I recently learned that some Zero Tolerance knives have some parts/accessories that are interchangeable with some Hinderer knives - things like pocket clips, spacers, etc.

I ordered some parts for my XM-18 3.5 (anodized pocket clip, anodized screws) and I really like the look that can be gotten through having these options.

Is there a list or resource anywhere that references which parts/accessories are interchangeable between which Hinderer and Zero Tolerance models. I saw a ZT 0393 that was said to have a Hinderer pocket clip and spacer, and that's what gave me the desire to learn more about any possible options.

Thanks in advance for any information on this.
 
Just a FYI, the 0560, 0562 and 0566 don't have any interchangeable parts with hinderers. It's only the 0393 that "will accept a selection of Hinderer custom hardware so that you can truly make it yours." according to ZT's website.
 
Okay, thanks for the info!! Much appreciated. The good news is: I do have a 0393.
 
Hinderer pocket clips can be used on 2 hole ZT (0560, 0392, 0393, for instance).

Thanks! That one looks really good.

So the list so far is:

Hinderer XM-18 pocket clips can be used on ZT 0392, 0393, 0560

Hinderer XM-18 fill tabs can be used on ZT 0393 (do they fit the 0392 tab slots? - update: Yes they do! Thanks ferider!)

Hinderer pocket clips can be used on 2 hole ZT (0560, 0392, 0393, for instance).

Yes, Hinderer tabs fit both the 0392 and 0393.

BTW, on the knife above, XM-18 (non-Sheepsfoot) Hinderer Scale Screws work as well, except I prefer Torx.
 
I believe the Hinderer lock bar stabilizer can also be used on the ZT 0560, 0561, and 0562. It should also fit the 0550 and 0566.

All genuine Hinderer XM-18 3.5" hardware, except lock bar stabilizer (LBS). Hinderer's LBS works fine, just that I already had a grooved version from MXG Gear.
