have Yakima Y clip rack and need Y44 to replace Y11 clips

[garinJ]

A buddy just gave me an old Yakima rack system. The problem is it uses the older style Y-clips instead of the current Q clips. It came with Y-11 clips but I found out I need the Y-44 clips. I looked on craigslist and ebay etc but can't find them anywhere, any suggestions?

Oh man that means you are using the old Yakima 1CSST Towers that use the Yakima Y clips. That system was discontinued in the early 1990's. Your best bet to find a set of Yakima Y44 clips to replace those Y11 clips is to start contacting a bunch of dealers to see if they have any Yclips lying around collecting dust. yakima Racks has a good list of dealers nationwide on their website.
