My canoe is 40" wide at its widest point, and the space between the bars on my Sequoia is only 45". Is it possible to flip the brackets inside out and

They clamp on to the cross bars, so I guess that it's possible to do it that way

I don't see why not. Only issue I can think of would be loading/unloading from the rear might be tricky. You'd have to side load your canoe, and might take two people to lift it over all 4 mounts to set it down. But installation to your rails should work just fine. They look like they could be installed either direction.

I suppose you could; however, the main reason they work for me is because they keep my canoe from moving in high wind and fast speeds on highway. To turn them around could defeat that purpose and make the canoe less stable. I'm not sure I understand your situation though. The widest part of the canoe is the center. The brackets will be towards the front and rear where it is narrower. They do slide on the bar to loosen/tighten. I first place them on loosely, then put the canoe, then tighten them securely. Opposite when removing. Hope I helped.

Yes, but you would need to buy a cradle or saddle for you canoe. There are slots or "T track" on top of the rack that let you add accessories for doing that.

The width of the brackets is two inches. In my case the surface to which I attached the brackets was only 1 3/4' wide, but was open on one side so the brackets over- hangs the surface by 1/4", which was not a problem.

Do not kow.My bar is 4 inches around. Maybe you might need a different model.

As long as the bars are round you should be able to do that. I have a micro-trailer (SportsRig) with round bars and use the brackets for my large tandem kayaks.

you can...i did the same thing with mine and it works fine. you cant tell by the pictures, both ends of the bar have hole in them so you can bolt the bar to the brackets to keep the bar from spinning. I only bolted one end of my bar and it works perfect.

Just ran down to the beach and measured my stands: 15 inches wide. Not knowing the measurements of your canoe, am guessing it would work if you place your canoe so each stand is under a seat. My kayak's beam is 28 inches and I store it, hull side up, on the stands with no problem.

The bar is 48 inches wide. The brackets are 2 inches. That only leaves you 1 inch on each side. You place the bracket where you want. It might look goofy with the brackets all the way at the ends of the bar but you could do it. You need to anchor it to the studs for safety.

If your canoe is 16" or shorter it should fit. It is most durable and I think you would like it.

Yes you can but for me the fit was extremely tight. I had to use a sledge hammer and some cardboard (to cushion the blow) in order to get the bracket onto the 4x6. I stopped once the wood was all the way in (flush with the end)...not sure how I could have gone any further with the fit so tight.

Mounting brackets are totally adjustable on the width, you can space them at any width. Wider is always best.

I no longer have the wheel, since it was for a flip bike.As I recall, it wasn't "overly" wide.I'd just get a rubber strip and trim the sides if necessary if too wide.

I can't speak to your specific boat, but maybe this will be helpful. I have two canoes that this seat will fit. Their width at the point where I install the seat is 36 1/2" and 38" respectively. The seat is designed to flex somewhat; un-flexed it is 35". It is a bit of a stretch to get it on my wider boat, but it does work. I think attempting to put it on an even wider boat would probably overstress the material.

You can but it takes some adjustments and you should have someone strong to help. You have to unscrew one of the screws a one end and angel the bar to make I fit. I hope this helps you.

Cutting it close, I have a 34" x ~3" paddle board and had to extend the ends on my cross bars past the recommended limits for my civic for these to be able to lock onto the paddle board.

The max front to rear spacing on the brackets is about 18 inches. The max width could be about 58 inches if you had something that big. You might have a weight issue with something that large I suspect!

These brackets are very sturdy. I would say that yes, it would be more than fine for your 120# canoe.
