Helpful Expert Reply:

Malone AirFlow roof racks like # MPG215 can use their own T-Slot Fit Kit # MPG8287 for Malone carriers or you can use another T-bolt fastener. I linked a photo showing a cross section of the AirFlow bar and the exact inside dimensions.

I converted the millimeter dimensions to inches:

21.15mm = 0.83-inch
11.45mm = 0.45-inch
7.35mm = 0.28-inch

This means the stainless steel T-bolts # 853-5648 will work fine. Most brands of T-bolt fittings and rack crossbars tend to be interchangeable but since there could be certain combinations that might not work this diagram will enable to know for sure for any item you might want to use.

Hi! I need a 1/4" T-bolt that will fit in the top slot of my Malone Airflow 2 roof rack. By 1/4" I am referring to the diameter of the threaded shaft. Do you have such a bolt in supply? Thanks in advance!
