Question:
Good day! I actually have 2 Yakima Deep space 10 and I really want to buy the Yakima EXO Swingbase but Im aware that the Deepspace 10 is incompatible with the swingbase So I wanted to DIY it myself, and buy the cleats for the gearlocker and install it on my 2 deepspace so I can mount it on the swingbase and the top shelf My question is, is this cleat SKU8881317 the right part for the gearlocker that will mount on the swingbase cleats?

Hello Giovel, thanks for reaching out. Yes, the Replacement Tie-Down Cleat # Y24EV is correct for connecting the Yakima EXO Gear Locker cargo box part # Y44VR to the EXO SwingBase.

Hello, I have two Yakima gear locker boxes Compatible to the eco swing base and top shelf. I want to swap the mounting hardware so I can put them on on my roof cross bars, essentially trimming them into Yakima deep space boxes. What mounting hardware do I need to make this work?
