Question:
What bolt kit is needed to mount these to the ski rack? I know it’s an M6 t bolt but having trouble finding the kit that’s needed. It also seems like there is a lot of wiggle room once these are places on my Thule square bars. Will the space become tight once these hardware is installed? I’ll be removing the current clamps off ski racks and installing the squares

Hey, Andrew!
What model of carrier do you have? I was comparing it to the racks that are compatible with the Thule square adapter part # TH8897 and they didn't look to be the same. If its not Thule SnowPack (part # TH7326B, part # TH7324, and part # TH7326) or the SnowPack Extender (part # TH7325 and part # TH7324B) it wont attach appropriately. That could be why you're seeing some movement but hard to know till I get confirmation.
The replacement M6 bolt that would be used is part # 853-208909.
