Roof T Track

I am planning to attach a solar pane to my roof and want to use the T Tracks attached on each side of the roof on my Jayco 14F.
Has anyone here attached anything to these T Tracks and if so where did you find the T Bolts that fit these tracks?
I have searched on line to no avail to find something that would work.
Does anyone have any suggestions?

Thanks

I hauled 5 bicycles on those tracks (different model popup) for thousands of miles. Not sure why not. Easier to move with you if you trade!

What kind of fasteners were used for the rack?

my bike rack came with some type of clamps, sorry, but that was 12 years ago when I sold it with the rack still on it.

Not a camper, but I had a roof rack for one of my old trucks, that used some special T-Bolts. Very expensive things. I found a carriage bolt that was the right size, and ground down two sides parallel to make a T-Bolts. Worked nicely and was cheap.

I had a bike rack as well that slid in that track. The fittings came with the rack. As I recall, it was a flat rectangular piece of metal with threads. The screws from the rack screwed into that piece.
