FYI- Do not order the Tengchen racks off Amazon if you have a newer style tower. I have a 2019 AR195.

They fit the diameter but because of the angle of the tower bar, I was unable to align the racks so they were horizontal. I would have had to have my racks pitched up or pitched down.

I just ordered the Monster Tower racks as I know they will pitch a full 360 degrees and they have the quick releases on them. Should have known better but was trying to save some money.

I do have a Sampson reverse mirror and believe this to be at least a 3 man, half a case of beer installation. I could not do this alone last night.
 
(Every good installation could require multiple people and a half case of beer)

I have had similar discoveries with racks off of eBay. Yes, nice and cheap, but not always configured or flexible how you need them to be.
