Helpful Expert Reply:

As long as the arms on your bell carrier are round and 1 inch in diameter, then you could use the Thule Replacement Stay-Put Cradle, # 853-7887, and strap, # 852-3006-001. Since bike rack manufacturers do not test their parts with products from other manufacturers, I cannot say for sure if the cradle will be compatible with your bike rack, but the cradle that you referenced will fit a 1 inch round tube.

I have attached a photo showing the dimensions of the hole in the cradle for your reference.
