Subaru Outback IV (6) crossbar adapter for Thule ski rack

thingiverse

Adapter for Subaru Outback IV with integrated (foldable) crossbars. To be able to mount Thule ski rack, I've created adapter which fits onto crossbars and you can fit Thule ski rack on.Due to curved aero shape of the crossbars, left and right parts are different. All parts are marked with L or R and direction of driving. Included are spacers for the inside of the ski rack, so that existing Thule bolds can be used. Included also knob for M6 bolts.M6 bolts are used for connecting at the rear of the adapter, for front connection, 6mm rods should be used (carbon, fiberglass, alu...). Rods are simply glued to the upper part after assembly.Nuts with nylon inserts should be used for rear connection. No need to overtighten the bolts since the stability is not dependable on the force used to tighten the bolts.Both elements of the adapter are printed with 50-80% infill, bolts and spacers with 100% infill.Material used: PETG. ABS is also ok, PLA not recomended.Currently published V7 pre-production version (0.7). Eventual new versions will be published at the later date.
