Walmart has Swiss Cargo brand cross bars with a pick of a Freestyle on the box for $129 Canadian

Just scored some Yakima 48" crossbars new on eBay for $50 shipped. They sell for a lot more new. They were advertised as Kia 48" cross bars, but I emailed them and they told me they are Yakima 0408 bars. It's all starting to come together.

I also own aThule #430 Tracker II Foot Pack and Thule #TK1 Tracker II Attachment Kit and plan to implement the solution(s) posted by WesH and DSalter. Many thanks for figuring this out!

I note that WesH recommends the following to keep the screws from seizing:



However, I note that the original Thule screws have medium strength removable thread lock applied to them to add some extra security. Wouldn't it make sense to apply some medium strenght thread lock to the screws instead? You could always apply some rust inhibitor to the exposed threads later after the thread lock has set (the thread lock creates a seal between the threads and the nut in the absence of air).
