Question:

Will the Replacement Square Head Bolt for Thule Fairings #853-208909 work with the Hand Knob # 753-0745? What is the length of the Replacement Square Head Bolt for Thule Fairings #853-208909? What would be a longer Square Head bolt that still works with Hand Knob, if I needed it?

Expert Reply:

The threads on the Replacement Square Head Bolt for Thule Fairings, # 853-208909, are an M6 bolt. I pulled the bolt and another M6 item, wing nut # 753-0783, and tested them together. The bolt threaded in the nut correctly so it is an M6 bolt and knob. Knob # 753-0745, also accepts an M6 bolt.

I cannot guarantee that the bolt will work with anything other than a Thule product. The bolt head is about 3/4 inches square and the head is 1/8 inch thick. Overall, the length of the bolt is about 1-1/8 inches.

With knob # 753-0783, you could try the 65mm M6 bolt, # TH26DH
