Question:
Will this add on kit work with an older rack, model number 515-5190. It appears to look very similar to the current T2 classic. Thanks!

I may have a solution for you, but according to my contact at Thule, your older 515-5190 does not have the ability to accept the shank of the Thule 2 Bike Add-On # TH55GC. The only available solution if you needed to carry 4 bikes would be to get a new bike rack and there is a nice option available that can convert from carrying 2 to 4 bikes with an add on platform with the Swagman Quad 2+2 Bike Rack for 4 Bikes - 2" Hitches - Frame Mount # S64FR. The Quad can carry up to 4 bikes weighing 45-lbs each and with tires up to 3" wide.
I've linked a review video of this rack for you to check out if you're interested in getting a new rack.
