Built from stainless steel, plastic backing plates and rubber pads, the kit balances durability with vehicle protection. It includes four U-bolts, four rubber washers, four backing plates, eight lock nuts, two straps, and one sealing sticker so you get a complete clamp solution in a single purchase. Before buying, verify that the clamp dimensions match your roof box and rack; this kit is not compatible with Thule car racks.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eHow do these U-bolt clamps attach a roof box to a rack?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eInstallation is straightforward: the U-bolt passes under or around the rack crossbar, the rubber washer and plastic backing plate sit against the roof box base, and lock nuts tighten the assembly. The rubber pad increases friction and cushions the contact point to reduce movement. The included straps add a secondary restraint for extra security during travel.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eInside width: 82mm (3.23 in); thread center-to-center: 90mm (3.54 in)\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eScrew diameter: M8 (7.5mm \/ 0.30 in)\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eWorks with racks up to ~40mm (1.57 in) thick and 80mm (1.96 in) wide\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eKit includes 4 U-bolts, 4 rubber washers, 4 backing plates, 8 lock nuts, 2 straps, 1 sealing sticker\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eWill these clamps resist rust and road wear?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe U-bolts and lock nuts are stainless steel to minimize corrosion from rain, road salt, and humidity. Plastic backing plates and rubber gaskets are selected for wear resistance and temperature tolerance so the components remain stable over seasons.
