Hey Dave, thanks for the pics. The Yakima LoadWarrior Roof Rack Cargo Basket like item # Y07070 doesn't have that ability. It has the older style mounting brackets so it is not compatible with the SmarT-Slot Mounting Kit item # Y07356 you were looking at or anything comparable.

If you're concerned about theft, the Locking Brackets with SKS Cores for Yakima Warrior Series Roof Cargo Baskets item # Y07064 are compatible with your setup. These are sold as a pair and will attach to the top of your mounting clamps.

Are you worried about your cargo basket being stolen or do you just prefer the T-slot mounting method?
