Rhino-Rack Pioneer 6 Channel Nut Kit
The only drop in solution for Rhino-Rack Pioneer series 6 that is available in M6, M8 and M10 threads.
When Rhino-Rack introduced the Pioneer 6 Platform they removed the openings in the channels that allowed for easy compatibility with standard channel nuts. The only channel nut option was Rhino-Rack's Zwifloc Channel Nuts which are only available with M6 thread.
TRC Concepts has engineered the only drop-in solution for Rhino-Rack Pioneer 6 platforms that is available with M6, M8 and M10 threads. This means that you can keep all of your old accessories and continue using M8 and M10 mounting hardware. Like Zwifloc, these nuts can be inserted and removed anywhere along the track. In addition to the increased compatibility, these channel nuts have over 70% more contact area than Rhino-Rack Zwifloc making them a much stronger mounting solution.
This kit contains 4 stainless steel M6 or M8 channel nuts, bolts and washers to suit the Pioneer 6 Platform. These channel nuts are backwards compatible with series 4 and 5 platforms. Alternatively, you can use our Rhino-Rack Channel Nut Kit for series 4 and 5 platforms.
Compatibility:- Rhino-Rack series 4, 5 and 6

Reviews
I have a Rhino Rack Pioneer 6 which doesn't have channel-end opennings to slide nuts in for middle bars. I didn't want Rhino's expensive Zwifloc which have plastic components. I bought this TRC channel nut kit which is awesome. The design and engineering are top notch. The clever shape allows you to slide it in at an angle exactly where you want to fasten things. Taking them out at an angle isn't easy but you can use narrow head pliers... or get a child with tiny fingers to help you...
I Purchased these channel nuts to bolt a Bush Company awning to my Rhino rack. The Bush Company supplied fittings that were both a bit ordinary and did not fit into the channels of the Rhino platform six. As this awning is a free-standing big bugger I wanted fittings that I was confident was going to be up to the job of securing it to the rack. These TRC fittings with the chunky stainless steel nuts are easy to install and the right fit for the job.
