Question:

Hi John, I was just taking a look at the racks that are supposed to fit the ROLA rack I have. Is there any way to possible order the bottom clamps along with the screws? Thanks again!

Expert Reply:

If the bolts on your Thule J-Style kayak carriers aren't long enough then you most likely need the adapter kit # THXADAPT11 which is required when installing the Thule Hull-A-Port # TH834 on the Thule AeroBlade crossbars. Since the crossbars on your Rola Sport Series Roof Rack with GTX Mounting System 59736 has a similar shape, you should be able to use the adapter just fine.

If you have other J-Style racks that we carry just let me know what they are and I can see if we have similar adapters for you.

If you are just wanting the bottom of the bracket and the hardware for the Thule Hull-A-Port # TH834 then that would be the following parts: Metal Bracket - # 853-5513 (Qty 4) Carriage Bolt M6 x 65 - # 915-066-554 (Qty 8) Carriage Bolt M6 x 50 - # 915-0650-54 (Qty 8) 3-Wing, Low M6 Hand Knob - # 753-0783 (Qty 8) The 2 different bolts are for different roof rack bar heights.
