They do look similar.
Got them from a mate who worked in a fectory around 2008.
These are the 2 last of four I have. Started with a 20 or so 15 years ago. Handy for solution like this. The linkage end is M3 threaded.
Oh, and these is made of steel. not alloy.

Today I got this stabilizer set for the M chassis (M01 + M02)


The bits I really was after is these stabilizer ball ends.
Did not find them for sale here in Norway or other places, so this was the cheapest option as these are not being used in most stabilizer kits.
Reason for looking for these is that in the TL01 kit, it's really only fitting bits to fit one of the two included.
I wanted to fit both on this chassis.


Found a neater way to mount the stb.bar in the rear.
Baicly copied the way the M chassis kit mounts to the arm via the hingepin by a ball suspension shaft.
The M chassis shaft was way too short so I had to come up with something.
Remembered I bought some 5mm ball connectors a while ago so I used those and a long allen bolt with a shank so the upright moveds freely.


Used the left over rod ends from the TL01 kit and a pair from the M chassis kit.
Used a short setscrew as the ones provided in the M chassis kit was a tad too long for this application.


Due the lowering and make it clear the propeller shaft cover, I had to widen the bar slightly 


As it sits now...



I will change the front mounting to the same as rear to clean things up later.

I made the mounting neater of the front stb.bar.
Here before I fitted the bumper back on.


Fitted it like I did in the rear with bolt and ball nut istead of regular hinge pin.


Really hard to take a good picture of this. But it clears the cover.
Had to bend it 90 degree instead of a bit outwards like it came from the factory.
Then I cut off about 5mm from the bar and then I bent it approx 10mm from the ends so the bar will swing over the driveshaft.
Now it works fine


A bit better picture


Really like how the chassis sits now


Will hunt for 53300 adjustable tie rod set and 53003 adjustable upper arms now.
