What attachments for factory roofrack?

Anyone know what brand/model of rack attachments will fit the absurdly wide crossbars on the factory wagon roofrack?

I have an old Barrecrafters Unisport ski rack set, (out of production now) that I found attach adapters for, but even the biggest ones don't fit around the surplus Huey chopper blades Subaru used for crossbars! :roll:

Looking for either crossbar attachments, or a whole system that will fit on the siderails.

Thanks!

look into thuleracks.com or yakima.com

Already tried...Both sites are worthless... they're steering me towards gutter-mount towers, which I already own, and which completely defeats the purpose of having the factory rack on the car. They don't list any of their older equipment.

I was hoping someone has some insight into older systems that I might find used or NOS. I'm looking at the Yakima EZ-Riders, which is the only current device that looks like it might have a chance of fitting, but even that looks sketchy. Maybe with minor modification of the rails...*cough* hacksaw *cough*

Finally found the right clamp, thanks to JustinTheSubie for posting a picture of Hana which led me to the..

Thule model 450 rack foot

This will clamp to the factory Legacy sidebars, eliminating the areo crossbars.
