Replacement Spar Hanger Bottom for Thule Expansion Accessory Backbone

Because I have an older T2 classic rack the top spar bracket was not long enough to meet the bottom spar bracket. I really only needed the bottom so I ended up using the original spar top with the new spar bottom. After E-trailer checked with Thule it was decided that was the only solution, which is fine653692

This bracket is what I expected with no noted flaws. The only thing that I could not find was the attaching hardware. The reason I needed that bracket is that another person backed into the bicycle rack and bent the bracket. In doing so they also bent the screws that held the bracket and I had no luck finding the screws in the catalog. It would have been very helpful if the attaching hardware was listed with the bracket. Thank you for the product and your time. 98605

Give us a shout Jim, we can help you track the parts. There are a whole heck of a lot of Thule parts on our site that are easy to find with part numbers. Without part numbers they can be hard to find because many of the parts are used on multiple racks and systems. If you look at the instructions that came with the rack, you will see the parts breakdown with each replacement part number. There is this half of the spar hanger and the top half is 853-5952. The hex key bolts you need are 853-5976.
