Hello,

I am in the process of moving from a Revolution 13 to a Pro Angler 12, the plan is to transport on top of my truck , using my current thule aerobars and the hobie cradle, my problem is before I order the cradle I can't find anywhere how these things are installed on different racks, trailers etc.

Do the cradles come with some attachment clamps or screwed, amd I goign to have to make a hole in the thule bars so I can drive a bold thru it cradle and the bar?

Any comments advice or pictures would be appreciated.
Thanks in advance
Dan

Yes, you will have to drill through the bars.

Cradles have no hardware included. We include the hardware in Trailex trailers, but beyond that the type of fasteners would vary greatly... not possible to cover all the bases, so we don't add them.

Something else to consider is the cradles need to be placed around 5 1/2 feet apart. Mr Miller can confirm that distance. So your Thule cross bars need to be able to be set that far apart as well.
