• The inch equivalent for the metric measurements you gave are 3.54331 inches by 3.14961and 0.23622 inches diameter and unfortunately we don't have those specific measurements.

I've attached photos to assist. If you have a cargo box, you may need to drill new holes and use RTV gasket maker # LT37467 to seal...

• Bearing Buddy to Replace Tie Downs Turbo Lube Oil Bath 48394 Cap?
  
• Yes, Bearing Buddy # BB2441T-SS replaces Tie Down's Turbo Lube oil baths. I ran out to the warehouse and double checked that the outer dimension of the threaded portion matches the 2.33" of your Turbo Lube 48394 cap. You will want to remove the oil from the hub using shop towels and a mild detergent. Let them dry completely before packing them. Bearing Buddy also recommends using a High Performance Silicone Gasket Maker like Loctite's # LT37467 for the installation.

• Alternate Mounting Hardware for Yakima SpaceBooster Cargo Box on 2015 Subaru Outback Wagon
  
• It is not a huge deal to add a few new mounting holes to the bottom of an ABS plastic cargo box like the Yakima SpaceBooster. A cordless drill and appropriately-sized drill bit will make short work of it. I would avoid using a heated implement for making the holes since it could be a bit messy and could make it harder to control the size of the hole. The things to keep in mind are that you want to drill no more additional holes than absolutely necessary so measure, check and re-check....

• Replacement Mounting Hardware for a Sears Sport 20-SV Cargo Box
  
• They do not make any specific replacement parts for the Sears Sport 20-SV anymore however, you can certainly make the Replacement Mounting Hardware part # CTC-18PARTS work for you. The holes may not align perfectly but you can always drill new ones and use part # LT37467 to cover the old ones. This is a very popular option for the older Sears cargo boxes like what you have.

• Recommended Placement and Sealant for Installing Polar Multi-Purpose Ventilator PLR20
  
• The Polar Multi-Purpose Ventilator # PLR20 has a lever to close the vent when there is risk of heavy rain (please see the linked photo) but the vent will block most water since it also has down-facing louvers on the outside. The lever lets you choose how much airflow you want. Using one at each end of the trailer is a good way to provide cross-ventilation and for the most cooling I suggest placing the rear vent up high (so it can expel more hot air from inside the trailer) and the front...

• Best Bulb and Socket Kit for Flat Towing 2018 Chevrolet Equinox
  
• I do have an opinion for you but the RoadMaster Bulb and Socket Set part # RM-155-2 is not a confirmed fit for you 2018 Chevrolet Equinox. For a bulb and socket kit that will work with your vehicle, I recommend using the Roadmaster Tail Light Wiring Kit with Bulbs part # RM-155 for incandescent or part # RM-152-LED for LED. As long as you do not have the Premier edition then either of these kits will work well for you In order to install either kit you can also going to need a silicone...

• How to Install a Rola Roof Mounted Cargo Basket?
  
• The Rola Roof Mounted Cargo Basket, part # 59504, is an attachment for roof bars that are attached to the car. They do not require any additional drilling to assemble. If you do not have raised side rails, I recommend the Thule WingBar kit, consisting of - 47 inch WingBars, part # TH711200 in silver or # TH711220 in black - Podium Roof Mount Feet, part # TH460R - Thule Fit Kit, part # THKIT3068 If you do have raised side rails, I recommend the same WingBars except you need the...

• Replacement LED Trailer Light to Reduce Power Draw
  
• The Optronics LED Trailer Light # STL42RB is not what I could call an exact replacement for the # ST40RB but for all purposes it will be what you're looking for. The # STL42RB is 1/8 inches larger in diameter and 3/8 inches deeper so at the most you may need to do a little filing to the opening for the light in your trailer to install it. The mounting flange is metal. There is also a Stainless Steel Trim Ring # A5TRSSB available. It does not include a gasket, however If you would...

• Troubleshooting Water Intrusion Between Gravity Fill Mount and Inner Fitting
  
• The Valterra Water Inlet for RVs - White - Gravity Fill # A01-2003VP comes with a putty tape to ensure you don't have water intrusion at the mounting holes and flange. It sounds like you are having issue with the inner bayonetted fitting. The manufacturer does not mention any sealing between these parts, but I can see how that could be an issue. I'd use the silicone gasket maker # LT37467 to secure that if it were me. Then you still have the ability to remove that inner unit and...

These vents also have a locking feature for the damper that lets you keep it secured in the closed position. Two swiveling latches, one on each end of the damper panel, allow you to secure the damper for off-season storage or when in extreme temperatures when you will want...

• Recommended Roof Rack and Cargo Carrier for 2013 Toyota Corolla
  
• For your 2013 Toyota Corolla, I recommend the Rhino-Rack Vortex Aero Crossbars # RRVA118B-2, the 2500 Series Legs # RRRLKVA, and the Custom DK Fit Kit # DK152. This is a confirmed fit for your vehicle. I also recommend the metal lock cores # RRVA-LEC4 for when you use the T-channel mounting for accessories that have that mount that fits in the slot on top of your crossbars instead of wrapping around them. Then for your rooftop cargo carrier, I recommend the Thule Force XT Rooftop Cargo...

• Replacement Locking Hardware for Thule Frontier 668 Rooftop Cargo Box
  
• I reached out to my contact at Thule and the bars you are seeking are not available as a replacement option. They have discontinued those style locks so you will be forced to improvise or upgrade. If you choose to improvise, I recommend installing the Replacement Bottom Lock Bracket for SportRack Explorer Cargo Box # SR00841 and the Replacement Lock Core and Key for SportRack Explorer Cargo Box - Qty 1 # SR03807. This will give you the lock and the latch needed to secure your box,...

• Center to Center Spacing of the Car Top Kit U-Bolt for Older Yakima Cargo Box
  
• The U-Bolts that come in the Car Top Kit # CTC-18PARTS and the Rhino-Rack Kit # S280 measure 4" apart on center. It is possible to use a mounting kit like this on an older Yakima box if there isn't anything else available although you may need to drill new holes and seal the old ones with something like part # LT37467. There may be a replacement mounting kit from Yakima depending on what you have. If you can let me know the name of your Yakima cargo box and/or send me a picture of...

• Ground Clearance on Curt C12225 vs Draw Tite 36241
  
• We had the opportunity to test fit hitches on the Pontiac Grand Prix and found that the hitch with the greatest clearance was the Draw-Tite hitch, # 24660. From the bottom of the receiver to the ground was right around 9" on this hitch. The other two hitches, Draw-Tite # 36241 and Curt # C12225 both had just 7 1/2 inches of clearance from the bottom of the receiver to the ground. So, your best bet will be Draw-Tite hitch # 24660. For the installation, it will be helpful to have a nylon...

• 1991 Yakima RocketBox Replacement Mounting Hardware Compatible with Aero Bars
  
• Your old Yakima RocketBox has mounting holes that are 4-1/2 inches on center, so there isn't a direct fit we carry. Instead I recommend using the Replacement Hardware Kit for Searsbox Cargo Box # TH05603. This will fit your Malone Aero bars like # MPG215 on your 2015 Toyota RAV4 as well as the factory bars on your 2008 Honda Pilot. I recommend using the gasket maker # LT37467 to seal the extra holes in your box to prevent water entry at the unused locations.

• You can absolutely remove the factory tail lights and replace them with a style you prefer like the Sealed, Streamline LED Trailer Stop, Turn and Tail Light, 3-Function, 11 Super Diodes # STL79RB. These are designed to be used as a replacement light and not simply an additional light, but they can be used for either purpose. I've attached a video of this installation for you to assist. There is an optional chrome base used only for the look that works with this light. It is # A79CB...

• Alternate EasySnap Mounting Kit TH05820 Compatibility with Thule Summit Cargo Box 631
  
• Back 'atcha, Georgetown. The original mounting hardware for the Thule Summit rooftop cargo box 631 is similar to the current QM3 kit # TH04997, but our Thule contact said it is possible to update the hardware to the EasySnap Mounting Kit # TH05820. The alternate EasySnap hardware will be a tighter fit than the stock hardware but it does work. Any extra holes in the bottom of the box that will no longer be needed for the new hardware kit can be sealed up using silicone sealant # LT37467. You...

• Replacement External Lid Hinge for Yakima RocketBox Rooftop Cargo Box
  
• On cargo boxes like the Yakima RocketBox series the external hinges and most other components that are riveted into place at the time of manufacture are not user-replaceable. So this just means you might need to drill out the rivets on the bad hinge, remove it completely and install a new one using more conventional nuts-and-bolts hardware. We do offer two replacement hinges, parts # TH13227 from Thule and # SR03396 from SportRack, and one of these will work fine on another brand of...

• Replacement Locks and Keys for Thule Ski Box with Key Broken Off Inside Lock Cylinder
  
• With a key broken off inside the lock, your only option is to drill out the lock and replace the core. For the replacement cores and keys for the matching set, I recommend the Thule One-Key System Lock Cylinders - Qty 2 # TH450200. With the key broken inside the lock, the master key won't work, so carefully drilling or calling a locksmith to drill for you are the only options. You may be able to drill into the key directly enough to get a bite so you can pull the broken key out and...

• The Thule Low-Rider Bike Rack - Fork Mount - Bolt On # TH821XTR can mount to your Weather Guard toolbox. I recommend using the sealant # LT37467 to make sure your toolbox remains water tight at the mounting holes. For your roof rack I recommend the Rhino-Rack Vortex Aero Crossbars - Aluminum - Black - 65" Long - Qty 2 # RRVA165B-2, the 2500 Series Legs # RRRLKVA, and the Fit Kit # DK227. These bars will be longer than usual which you will need for two fishing kayaks. Then for your...

• The Factory crossbars on a 2005 Jeep Grand Cherokee are about 2.5 inches wide and 1 inch tall, making them a good fit for the Rola Roof mounted Cargo Basket, part # 59504. You will, prior to purchasing, want to measure the distance from the center of your front crossbar to the line where your hatch meets your roof to get the longest possible length your basket can be before it impacts the use of your hatch Its also recommended that you purchase adhesive sealant, part # LT37467 in...

• Should the Power Wire for the Curt # C56387 be routed Inside or Outside on a 2018 Chevy Malibu
  
• Typically the power wire for a wiring harness like the T-Connector # C56387 that you are installing on your 2018 Chevrolet Malibu is routed outside and under the vehicle. If you can locate a grommet like part # A11GB at the rear of your vehicle you can then route the wire outside without drilling through your Malibu. Be sure to seal it back up with a gasket maker like part # LT37467. Once outside we usually try to route the wire through the frame as that will keep it protected pretty...

• Recommended Installation Method for Erickson E-Track in Enclosed Trailer
  
• Thanks for the photo of your trailer interior. E-Tracks like # E19148 need to be mounted with at least 2 fasteners per linear foot on each side to a structural surface on the trailer in order for them to meet their specs. I see from your photo that you have a track spanning the structural ribs inside the trailer. It does not appear this installation has enough fasteners and that may well be the issue. I can recommend a couple of options. One is to bolt the E-Tracks all the way through...

• Does Ventline Exterior Wall Vent for RV Range Hoods V2111-55 Include Insect Screen
  
• The Ventline Exterior Wall Vent for RV Range Hoods # V2111-55 does not include a screen to block insects but it does have a lockable damper panel that lets you secure the damper when the range hood fan is not in use, such as during storage periods. This feature helps stop drafts that can cause your HVAC system to turn on unnecessarily. We also have this item in black as part # V2111-55. Installation requires hardware such as # 31071 (ten screws are needed) as well as a silicone rubber...

It will require drilling directly into a stud/support location to give you the weight support needed.

• How to Route Curt T-Connector to Trailer Hitch on a 2018 Honda CR-V
  
• To route the Curt wiring connector # C56370 permanently to your trailer hitch you need to look for any grommets around where your spare tire is stored. I wasn't able to see any in the attached installation video on a 2018 Honda CR-V but if you remove the spare tire you may be able to locate one. If you aren't able to find a grommet then you will need to cut through your vehicle body and install a grommet like part # A55GB. Whether you find a grommet or have to install one you simply...
