Loading A Cargo Box onto Grenadier Rhino Rack Cross Bars

[Warren481]

I have the Grenadier Rhino Rack Roof Bars and I'm looking at how to load my Mont Blanc cargo box onto it. Has anyone used U clamps to attach a roof box to the RR bars? I haven't seen them sold that wide! I only use the roof box 2-3 times per year so don't want it (or the cross bars) permanently mounted. If the cargo box can only be mounted with T bolts or T nuts, is there a packaged RR solution that I can buy? I'm based in the UK and struggling to find where i can buy it. Thanks, Warren

You don't need U bolts ...simply buy T-bolts, slide them into the roof bar track, thread them through the cargo box and secure them with panel washers and domed nuts ( to preclude damage to contents).

Thank you. Do you know if the T tracks are a standard size on the top of the RR cross bars? So will Thule T bolts fit; I've seen that they sell a fitting pack with plates and thumb nuts.
