What are the Dimensions of the Replacement T-Bolt for Thule Roof Rack Gutter Feet

Published 08/10/2011

Question:

We just got a new CTS with factory side rails and crossbars. We can mount our bicycle and tandem directly to it by sliding T bolts in the slots under the rubber strip on top. Id prefer touse slighly larger T bolts for the tandem. What size are these, and/or do you have larger. I got four from the tech at Rack Attack in Denver, and I assume they are your T bolts, not sure? Thanks in advanceove your stuff Thule

I went out to the warehouse and pulled the # 853-0782 that you have referenced. The head is 0.7 inches square and 0.19 inches tall. The overall length is 2.21 inches, the threaded part makes up 2 inches of that. It has a diameter of 0.31 inches (8 millimeters). There is not a larger.

Depending on the bike racks you are using there may be other options for you.
