I got I think the Kamei ones from The Roofbox Company. The part number is KM52003, from www.roofbox.co.uk.

I got them back the other day, but haven't tried them yet.
I was a bit surprised the kit doesn't include the nuts.

Do the original Thule ones fit, anyone?

I have bought the same, (also without the nuts Evil or Very Mad ), the plates with threads fit OK into the 'T' track on roof bars , but there are no plastic bits included, will now have to search my very untidy shed / garage for some 6mm nuts. Rolling Eyes

Oh, I'm confused Stu. The picture you posted saying "And they look like " - was that a picture of the Thule adaptors you have just linked to? Or the Kamei's referred to in John O's post?

I assumed it was a picture of the Kamei rather than the Thule. I mus admit, I was surprised that the Kamei's didn't come with anything to go inside the roofbox.

So in summary. The picture you posted is the Thule adapters which come with gnurled nobs? (ooh-err missus).

I'll order some of those instead then. No problem. I bet the roofbox company will do a swap.
