A 15 series extrusion is 1.5 in wide (or a multiple — 1.5 × 3.0, and so on) and the T-slot takes a 5\/16-18 fastener. If your rack came from Unaka, 80\/20 Inc., or most van rack makers in North America, it is 15 series.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eDoes this include the brackets?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eNo. Cross bars and bracket hardware are sold separately so you can buy exactly the number of each you need.

Use a fine-tooth non-ferrous blade, deburr the cut, and cap the end.
