There are indeed some bike rack replacement parts that might be adaptable to brands and models of racks for which they were not intended. Usually an entire cradle assembly like # 853-7887 from Thule, which slips over one of the rack arm tubes, is easiest to substitute since many of these items are intended for the same 1-inch diameter tubing.

The Replacement Vinyl Cradle Padding for Swagman Original Series Bike Carriers # P0023 is a bit more specific in fit than many parts. This part fits their Original bike rack model made in/after 1999.

I pulled a sample of this item from our warehouse so that I could measure it for you. The linked photo shows its dimensions. The padding is 4-1/2-inches long and each half of the "V" is 1-inch.

A link to all bike rack replacement parts is included for you.
