Now folks, these will let you mount a Malone kayak or surfboard carrier to your truck bed ladder rack with the top channels.

And there's different sized ones here to fit your needs and the installation, Allen key or Allen wrench as well. Folks, these are Electroplated hardware, so they're gonna resist corrosion and they will fit most crossbars with top channels. The bolt lengths here are one and 11 16th inches long.

Everything here is a nice limited lifetime warranty. You're gonna get eight channel nuts, eight M8 bolts, and one Allen wrench and eight washers. Well folks, that's gonna wrap it up for our look at this fit kit, again for the Malone Kayak Carriers for your track rack T-slots. I'm Steven, thanks for watching, have a great day.

This fit kit allows you to mount a Malone kayak or surfboard carrier to your truck bed ladder rack with top channels. Electroplated hardware resists corrosion.

You get far more than what is pictured. You get 4 short screws, 4 long screws, 4 nuts for small T-slots, 4 nuts for large T-slots, 8 washers and 1 allen key. Required a few more extra washers to make the short screws work with a Thule Probar Evo. The roof rack required the large nuts. Would buy again.



by:

Work well, on the older Downloader carriers. The new ones have a slightly different profile which cause the bolts to be about 1/8" to 3/16" too long when going to an Overhaul HD top bar. Solution is to get a few washers and insert, in my case 3 was the ticket. Otherwise the bolt bottoms out in the bottom of the slot prior to engaging T nut. On my older downloader, it's a perfect fit, maybe half a mm clearance below the bolt to the bottom of the slot when fully tight.

  • How to Get Malone Kayak Carriers w/ T-slot Fit Kit to Slide Into the Channels of a Roof Rack
    In order to use your Malone DownLoader Kayak Carrier # MPG114MD with T-Slot Fit Kit # MPG8287 in the Malone AirFlow2 Roof Rack # MPG216 you will need to remove the rubber stripping (gasket) in the T-slot channel. You can remove, trim, and re-insert the strips around the mounting hardware of your accessories to keep the crossbar channel capped and quiet. I have included a picture that shows what the channels will look like with the strip removed and the carrier with fit kit installed.

  • Can Cantilever Extension for Thule Ladder Racks be Used to Haul Longer Kayaks on 2018 F-250
    Yes, the Cantilever Extension for Thule Ladder Racks # TH24001XT will work great for hauling longer kayaks with your 2018 Ford F-250 Super Duty. This works great with the TracRac G2, TracONE, and T-Rac Pro2 ladder racks. If you let me know what bed length you have on your truck I can recommend one of these ladder racks if you don't already have one. If you don't already have kayak carriers I recommend checking out the Malone DownLoader # MPG114MD. This will fit into the T-Slots of the...

  • Using Adapter Kit for Malone Downloader on Aero Bars
    The Malone DownLoader Kayak Carrier with Tie-Downs - J-Style - Folding - Side Loading, part # MPG114MD, should attach to your aero bars without the Truck Rack Crossbar T-Slot Fit Kit for Malone Kayak Carriers, part # MPG8287. The DownLoader comes with four 7mm bolts and four 8 mm bolts. These bolts are long enough to go around your vehicle's aero bars. The T-Slot kit you ordered is designed for customer's who want to attach the DownLoader via the t-slots of their aero bars, that is why...

  • J-Style Kayak Carrier Fitment with Thule Xsporter Pro Ladder Rack
    The etrailer J-Style Kayak Carrier # e98878 fit 3-1/8" wide x 1-1/2" tall crossbars while the crossbars for the Thule Xsporter Pro # TH500XTB are slightly larger at 3-1/2" wide x 1-1/2" tall so we need to look at a different kayak carrier for this application. For an alternative J-Style rack you can use one from Malone along with the T-Slot Fit Kit # MPG8287. The J-Pro2 # MPG117MD has fixed arms while the DownLoader # MPG114MD has the folding arms like our etrailer kayak carrier kit. Both...

  • Will the Malone Downloader Kayak Carrier Fit My Factory Crossbars on My 2014 Subaru Forester?
    The Malone DownLoader Kayak Carrier with Tie-Downs # MPG114MD is designed to fit round, square, aero, elliptical, and most factory crossbars so it should fit the aero style crossbars on your 2014 Subaru Forester. The Malone AirFlow2 crossbars are 3" wide x 1" tall and the DownLoader will fit this so you can use these dimensions as a reference. Plus, if you have the T-slots on your crossbars you can use the Fit Kit # MPG8287 and not have to worry about the clamps fitting at all. One of the...

  • Malone Seawing Compatibility With Yakima HD Crossbars
    I went ahead and checked to see if the Malone Seawing # MPG107MD would fit the Yakima HD bars # Y01157 and they do not. The bolts are just a little too short. What you can do is either go to the hardware store and get similar bolts but longer or you can install it via t-track using this kit # MPG8287 to fit it into your T-Slots on your Yakima HD bars.

  • Recommended Length of Malone Roof Rack for 2014 Ford Escape to Carry Kayaks
    That's a great question and you've clearly put a lot of thought into it. And for your 2014 Ford Escape with raised rails I highly recommend the 58 inch Malone AirFlow2 Roof Rack # MPG216. The reason I recommend the longer bars is because they make kayaks much easier to load, particularly two kayaks, because they will be closer to the edge of your vehicle, so you don't have to try and contour your body to lift the kayaks up while bending to maneuver them on the roof. Longer crossbars are...

  • Which Folding Kayak Carrier Will Fit The Thule Wingbar Evo Crossbars?
    We do in fact have several folding kayak carriers that will fit your Thule Wingbar Evo Crossbars on your 2013 Volvo XC90. I recommend looking into the Malone DownLoader Kayak Carrier with Tie-Downs - J-Style - Folding - Side Loading # MPG114MD. This is a folding carrier that will allow your roof to remain low-profile when no kayaks are on top of it; I attached a photo to show what this looks like in the folded down position. This carrier will simply clamp onto the Thule crossbars, but...

  • Will the Malone DownLoader Fit Inno Aero Crossbars on My 2020 Mercedes GLA 250?
    All of the crossbar sizes of the Inno Aero crossbars that we have listed as confirm fits for your 2020 Mercedes-Benz GLA 250 are the available size options that Inno has for you based on your crossbar length needs for the vehicle. Depending on what accessories/cargo you need to transport, you can use more or less crossbar space. The length does determine how long the crossbars stick out past the feet. If you are planning on transporting a kayak, I recommend the longer roof rack bar system...

  • How To Install A Kayak Carrier Onto The Thule Xsporter Pro Ladder Rack
    If your J-style kayak carrier clamps are too small to fit around the Thule Xsporter Pro Ladder Rack then you will likely need a new kayak carrier, unless there is an option to use T-bolts to install the kayak carrier into the Xsporter crossbar tracks. If you can tell me which kayak carrier you have then I can verify if T-bolts can be used. For example, the Malone DownLoader Kayak Carrier # MPG114MD has the option to add Truck Rack T-slot # MPG8287 to secure it to the top channel. But if...

  • T-Slot Kit For Malone Kayak Carrier For Top Channel of Ladder Rack
    There is an option for for a T-slot kit to fit your Adarac ladder rack for a Malone kayak carrier, though not the Malone FoldAway-5 Kayak, SUP, and Canoe Carrier # MAL38FR. Instead, what you will need is the Malone J-Pro2 Kayak Carrier with Tie-Downs # MPG117MD. Then, to mount it in your top channels you'd use the Truck Rack T-Slot Fit Kit for Malone Kayak Carriers # MPG8287.

  • Is the Yakima BoatLoader EVO Telescoping Only Compatible with Yakima Crossbars?
    The Yakima BoatLoader EVO Telescoping Load Assist - 28" Extension # Y04085 is compatible with only Yakima Corebar or Roundbar roof rack systems. If you are looking for a boat loader that is compatible with the Aero Malone Airflow 2 Crossbars # MPG216, I recommend the Malone DownLoader Kayak Carrier and TelosXL Load Assist w/ Tie-Downs # MPG114MD-351XL. You will need to purchase a T-Slot Fit Kit for Malone Kayak Carriers # MPG8287 for the carrier to fit in the T-Slots of the Airflow 2 bars.

  • Kayak Carrier Solution for FrontRunner Roof Tray
    Since the Frontrunner roof racks are basically roof trays with channels on them for mounting roof accessories you could use a kayak carrier like the Malone DownLoader Kayak Carrier with Tie-Downs # MPG114MD with the T-slot adapter part # MPG8287 if you were wanting a J-style carrier. Yakima does not have a style like this that fits T-slots. Yakima has a cradle style rack with the BigCatch part # Y04091 and the adapter part # Y04092 that would work as well.

  • Mounting a Go Power Solar Panel to Roof Rack Crossbar T-Slot
    To mount the Go Power solar panel like # 34282182 to the Rhino-Rack crossbars you would need to adjust the crossbars to the correct width for your panel. Then you can use the Truck Rack T-Slot Fit Kit for Malone Kayak Carriers # MPG8287 or Crossbar Adapters for Rhino-Rack J-Style Kayak Carriers S510, S511, and S512 # KC-FK8 with the security tool to give you enough hardware for two of the solar panel brackets.

  • T-Slot Nuts to Fit Yakima HD Crossbars
    I recommend picking up the Aero Style Crossbar T-Slot Fit Kit # MPG8287 which comes with bolts, nuts, and washers that will fit in the Yakima HD Bar T-Slots like the 78" part # Y01159. If you're trying to find specific dimensions for your own hardware, the T-Slot measures 22mm wide and 8 mm tall and then the opening at the top measures 11mm wide (see attached photo).

  • Recommended Two Kayak Lift-Assisted Roof Rack System for 2017 Mercedes GLS450 with Side Rails
    I recommend the Thule AeroBlade Edge Roof Rack - Aluminum # TH7503-TH7503 as a roof rack system for your kayaks. It's a great sturdy system, and the main perks of this roof rack is how low-profile and quiet it is so you can leave it and go about your normal daily routine. You won't have to worry about wind noise which can be a common issue with other roof racks. This also comes in Black # TH7503B-TH7503B and I attached a video so you can see the install process.

  • Will Malone T-Slot Mounting Kits Fit an ARB Awning Bracket
    Aero Crossbar T-Slot Mounting Kit # MPG915 is one of the kits that fit the Malone AirFlow 2 crossbars but it isn't the only one. There is also # MPG6604 which has longer bolts and a set of 4 of each part. There is also # MPG1498 with bolts that are in between the lengths of the other 2 kits. The bolts are not T-bolts. The way that it works is the square nuts slide into the T-Slot on a bar and the bolts will go down through the accessory being mounted and then thread into those square...
