Default Thule bike rack fit kits

So i've been doing some research on thule bike racks, and the "fit kit #77" is the kit made for my 90 crx dx, but apparently it has been discontinued everywhere i have looked. Does anyone know where i can get my hands on a set??

I found a thule rack on craigslist for complete $50 that is for a 98 integra, and i'm trying to see if i can get it to fit on my crx.

dont hesitate on buying the rack setup for the integra. all youll need is the fit kit 77 and they pop up on ebay sometimes. you just have to look. this is just what you do when searching for discontinued parts.

Oh i didn't lol. I picked it up this morning. Yeah, my plan originally was either find the correct kit, or sell it for more lol.

But now that i have it, i'm most likely just gonna wait it out. I sorta "test fit" on my crx, and the bike holder looks kinda weird sticking that far out.

Also, it didn't exactly come "complete", but for $50, i couldn't pass that up. Don't really know whats missing.. Here are some pics i took earlier.

In the last pic, are those the "feet", or is that a fit kit? Also 2/4 fairing brackets are broken

This is the fit kit.

Honestly I can't tell what you have but my setup just used the standard towers and the rubber feet fit on the roof drain and the clamps onto the side.

And my bike rack points forward. I just like it better that way.

If so, do you know what kit you have? lol

And when you say "And my bike rack points forward. ", does that mean your bike gets mounted on backwards? Can't exactly get a clear picture in my head

alright, looks like you have the 480 series of towers, which wont work with a CRX. 480 is meant for gutterless roofs like the integra. i have no idea what exactly is the difference.

you need the 400 series of towers.

and fit kit 77, which i showed.

Thule Aero Foot Pack 400XT
Thule 50 Inch Load Bar Pair LB50
Thule Fit Kit KIT77

and yes.
old blurry pic but you get the idea. doesnt impede the hatch opening.
