Question:
I have Brightline BL571160 crossbars which are approximately 3/4 X 2.5 inch aero shaped. I’d like to purchase separate older style horizontal and vertical Yakima adapters to mate these bars with a number of older Yakima accessories that I have used for years. What Yakima model mounting adapters might work?

If you have a variety of older Yakima products that you want to mount to crossbars that are 2-1/2" wide x 3/4" tall then the Universal MightyMounts # Y03590 would be your best bet. These adapters fit a wide variety of Yakima products but they are somewhat specific. If you can let me know what products you are wanting to mount them on I can see about verifying if these will fit or what other parts you may need.
Question:
Don’t know the names but here are pics of two accessories. One is for boat mounting on round bars and the other is for bikes.

Thank you for the pictures!
I reached out to my contact at Yakima who said that the boat carrier in your picture is an older model that doesn't have an adapter to mount it on aero-style bars but they did come out with an upgraded version that is compatible with aero bars. The is the Yakima KeelOver # Y04069.
For the bike rack you can use the Universal MightyMounts # Y03590 that I initially referenced.
