I went out to the warehouse to see if the Replacement 3-Wing Hand Knob # 753-0745 will fit on the Replacement U-Bolt # TH853-5420-02 you referenced. I was able to confirm that this wing knob will fit on the U-bolt.
When used with the Thule Pelton bike rack, the U-bolt secured the rack to the front crossbar using the Round Nut # 853-5439. The back of the rack was secured to the crossbar with 2 carriage bolts # 915064554, the washer plate # 853-0333-02, and the 3-Wing Knob # 753-0745.
If you are trying to replace mounting hardware for a different bike rack, feel free to let me know and I will see if we have the needed hardware for you.
