Expert Reply:
I went out to the warehouse and pulled a Replacement U-Bolt for Thule Time Travel Series Roof Mounted Cargo Boxes, # 43216, and a Replacement 3-Wing Hand Knob, # 753-0745. These two parts are not compatible. If you need the cargo box mounting hardware that goes with the u-bolt, you will need Replacement EasySnap Housing, # 14688.
If you need replacement bolts compatible with the knob, you can use Replacement M6 bolt # 915-0640-11, # 915064554, or # 853-2040-04. The knob does not come with a nut. The inside of the knob is threaded, which is how it grips the bolt. If a nut is used, it would have to be an M6 nut, no greater than 1/2 inch in diameter. The knob is designed to be used with Thule bike, snowboard, or ski carriers, but not cargo boxes.
