passiton Posted October 17, 2020 Report Share Posted October 17, 2020 This mounts flat bottomed ski racks to square Thule bars. Parts are hard to buy right now, with many suppliers not sitting on much inventory. Extra pics are what it looks like mounted and what it looks like when you use what you have to make it work. NOBODY here has a pass to blow out someone else's candle in order to make theirs shine brighter. TLDig[ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
XBMX Posted October 18, 2020 Report Share Posted October 18, 2020 I sold Thule for many years through my Bicycle Shop. When using the 724&726 for rods drill your crossbars and bolt them direct. No twisting in the car wash much tighter installation. Jayfish 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

These come on and off several times a year to accommodate other configurations on the racks. NOBODY here has a pass to blow out someone else's candle in order to make theirs shine brighter.

Will the fatmouth clamp work on the square bar? * Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
XBMX Posted October 18, 2020 Report Share Posted October 18, 2020 FatMouth were for OEM bar that are oval. Tended to slip easily. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

By getting 4 longer bolts and drilling the bars the rack sits directly on the flat surface of the Thule crossbar the bolts insert from the bottom and the original Thule WingNuts secure it in place. It removes as quickly as when using the plastic clips and sits lower. The only Caveat is obtaining the 4 longer metric bolts. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Appreciate the suggestion though! NOBODY here has a pass to blow out someone else's candle in order to make theirs shine brighter. TLDig[ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
