Will your Hollywood Racks replacement cradles and straps fit a Graber 4-bike carrier? Ours is about 15 + years old.

I can tell you how to determine if the Replacement Standard Cradles for Hollywood Racks Bike Carrier # HR740-P will work on your Graber bike carrier, but there is no way for us to know for certain because they have not been tested together. That said, if you measure the arms of your Graber carrier, and they are 1 inch in diameter (which is pretty standard) then the Replacement Cradles will absolutely work for you.

Otherwise, if you are looking for a replacement upgrade 4-bike rack you can do so pretty economically with the likes of the Curt 4 Bike Rack for 1-1/4" and 2" Hitches # C18030 or Swagman Trailhead 4 Bike Rack for 1-1/4" and 2" Hitches # S63380.

I've added links to video reviews of both racks for you to check out.

Hole dia. Too small, needs excessive modification to work. Need detergent and 1 1/8 pipe to pound on

Thanks for the info. It looks like it's that tiny amount over 1" that's causing the issue. Can you possibly tell me what specific model bike rack you have?
