From my understanding you should just need the M6 x 30 Socket Head Cap Screw # TH919063054, the M6 Washer # 951061254, and the Square Nut # 853-7557 for installing the older Hullavator into the T-Slot of a crossbar system. This stuff should have come with the Hullavator and I'm not aware of the need for a adapter to mount it in the T-Slot.

I had someone in our shop today with an older model Hullavator (before Aeroblade/Wingbar Evo or Jetstream bars were released) and the base plate had a round bar plate permanently attached at each end. The adaptor for the top track bars mentioned above that comes with the newer Hullavators is available from Thule and I think it is compatible with the base plate from the older Hullavator but you would have to remove the round bar adaptor plate before using the top track type plate. There is a parts list for the Hullavator on the Thule website and all the individual hardware for the Hullavator is available (as Jon G. mentions some above) separately with Thule SKU #'s. The trick is figuring out which parts you need. : ) I am going to contact Thule for a clear answer about old base plates and top track bars. JL
