Bolting to a 'Thule' style aero rack.
« on: January 21, 2013, 04:23:35 PM »
Have a home-built awning I want to attach to a 'thule' style aero rack. (Actually a Subaru OEM rack)

Anyone have any suggestions as to bolts that will do this?

As I have 'L' brackets, I don't want to buy a complete 'attachment kit'.  Are the bolts available separately?

I've got the same racks.  I bought a rhino bolt kit  which has some flat rectangular head shaped bolts that will fit in the thule track

something like these http://www.rhinorack.com.au/AccSubCategory_Fitting-Kits_Page_3_Accessory_Fitting-Kit_204_35.aspx

Thule 888 adapters are the T bolts, around $15 from memory
