What Size T-Bolts Comes with Thule HideAway Awning Roof Rack Adapter

Question:

Ive got a custom installation and I am trying to figure out what size bolt will work with the t-slot track on the back of this awning. Im looking at either an M8 bolt 853-5715, M10 bolt 853-5648, or even the Yakima bolt M10 bolt Y8880184. It looks like the M8 sized bolt will work, but Im wondering if the M10 bolt options will work as well if I wanted something beefier? A related question is what size are the t-bolts in the Thule roof rack adapters TH490001?

The adapter for the Thule HideAway Awning # TH490010 that you referenced that allows it to fit in the top channels of roof rack crossbars is the part # TH490001 which does come with M8 T-Bolts like the part # 853-5715 that you mentioned. If you wanted just T-bolts that fit the # 853-5715 would be what you need.
