Default Rack question

Does anyone know if the JCR gutter rail roof rack mounts will work with a Yakima Megawarrior roof rack?

get measurements of the Yakima rack and measure up the distance between gutter mounts. It's not hard to figure this out on your own.

Look at how they mount to the JCR rack:





What you see there is that the JCR rack has welded mounting plates where the brackets mount with two bolts each. The bracket clamps to the gutter, but it doesn't clamp to the rack, so it isn't "one size fits all."

Whether it will work with the Yakima rack will depend on whether it's wide enough to meet the brackets where they stick up and whether the rack itself has mounting points. I'll go out on a limb here and said that it's probably not going to work without some extra fab on your part to adapt the pieces to fit.
