rsb endlinks from another car?

I've been struggling with the common issue of our rear sway bar endlinks loosening up. I had a similar problem with my 93 626 (which used the same stupid allen-key design) when I swapped-in a much thicker addco rsb. But someone on the 626 forum had found out that the endlinks from a mid-90's nissan altima were the exact same size as the mazda's. I bought a pair, and found out that they were way cheaper than the OEM mazda's, as well as being stronger. The biggest improvement was in their design, where you could slip an open-ended wrench onto the base of the endlink threads. This allowed you to keep the threaded part from turning while using a torque-wrench on the nut (which is impossible with the allen-key design). Those endlinks never loosened once, even with the beefy rsb and I didn't have to use lock-tite on them.

My question is, does anyone know of a similar fix for the ms3's endlinks?
