Replacement Top Plate for Swagman Bike Rack S64351

Question:

Is it possible to buy just the part that goes on top with screws to secure bikes down? Mine was taken and now need a new hold down part.

The Replacement Top Plate, # P112 is designed for the 1999 - 2008 Swagman Original Series 3 bike racks that came with a weld nut on the bottom of the bottom plate. If your bike rack has this style of attachment the # P112 should be the correct plate for you.

If your bike rack has studs welded on the underside of the bottom plate and sticking up for a top plate and internally threaded wing nuts then the P120 top plate is the original design, but the P112 can be used, by taking out the wing bolts and using the extra hole that is added in the plate..You will also need 2 of the Replacement Non-Locking Knobs, # P1041, to secure the plate to the bike rack.

I have added dimensions to a photo so you can see the difference between the two top plate mounting holes.
