Can I Use The Wing Knobs Or Do I Need The Round Nuts For The Mounting Kit # 7533998 Thule 724/725?

Question:

Hi Experts, I have a question regarding the manual for Thule #7533998 Retro-Fit Mounting Kit for 724/725. I attached pix 1 and 2 for references. I have Thule 725 and i just bought this mounting kit from your store. However, it seems I need other things to go with this kit. In Pix 1, the instruction says unscrew 2 wing knobs. However, I do not have these 2 wing knobs. Do I need them ? If yes, do you sell them ? Is it the one ? 753-1897-03 In pix 2, the instruction shows a picture of a round nut. I dont have this round nut. Does your company sell them ? Is this the one ? 853-5439 It seems the instruction refers to use the round nut instead of 2 wing knobs. Can I use 2 wing knobs instead of the round nut to connect the mounting kit ? 7533998 Thank you !

You can use either the Thule 2-Wing Knob # 753-1897-03 which came on the Thule 725 Ski Carrier or you can use the Round Nut # 853-5439 with the Mounting Kit # 7533998 you have. You will need 2 of the knobs or nuts per mount or 4 total for the set.
