Question:

Hi, Im trying to find a low profile t-slot mount for my Fatcat 6 to my Yakima JetStream bars. I was originally looking at Yakima part #8003098, which is backordered. Then I found this product #8860085 and looks to be similar. Whats the difference? Will this kit #8860085 work with my Fatcat 6 and JetStream bars? Thanks!!

Expert Reply:

Yes, the Replacement T-Slot Mounting Hardware for Yakima FatCat and Whispbar Ski Carriers # 8860085 you mention will work with your Yakima Fat Cat 6 Locking Rooftop Ski and Snowboard Carrier # Y03088 (INACTIVE).

The difference between # 8860085 and # Y03098 is the primary height at which they sit. The Yakima FatCat 6 will still operate normally, and will all you to channel mount your FatCat 6 into your aero style crossbars like the Yakima JetStream Crossbars # Y00425.

For a low profile option, I recommend # Y03098 as it sits lower than # 8860085.
