U bolts NM
Custom adapters
I adapted my EZ-Vee to fit to the oval factory bars on my Mini Cooper. I used rectangular aluminum tubes that are just slightly bigger on the inside than the bars themselves. The EZ-Vee base is attached with longer screws into holes threaded into the tubes. You have to be able to disassemble the bars to slide the tubes in place. The tubes I used are 3" by 2" with 1/4" thick walls - I wouldn’t use anything thinner than 1/4". I added thumb screws to anchor the tubes on the bars. Materials came from McMaster-Carr online, cost around $30.

Not the easiest way, but looks good and is strong. U-bolts would work also - have you looked to see if Thule makes an adapter?
