    Rack issues. Anyone else tried upgrading to these racks on an older tower? Think it is a FCT5? (2012). Anyways- mounts fine, rotates into the in position fine but will not rotate far enough out to engage, the tower interferes. Going to call Roswell Monday, anyone know if they sell an extention/adapter, or am I going to have to make one? Sorry about the rotated photos... not sure how to fix that.

    Yeah looks like you need a thicker spacer if one exists from Roswell. If they do have a thicker spaces you will need longer screws as well.

      Are your swivels labeled with a P or S If so are they on the correct side.
      May be mistaken but I believe the swivel knob should be pointing down at least they are on my 2016 G

      Other thing you can try is switch sides because I think they swivel one way more than other.

          My old ones were that way... these are symmetrical, no port/starboard and travel same rotation.
