Adding Third Crossbar to Yakima EasyRider Trailer

Question

Question:

What parts would be required to add a third top cross bar to a Yakima Easy Rider Trailer? It looks like 2 towers Y57EV, 1 cross bar Y45FR, and a pair of connectors for the towers to attach to on the cross bar or do these come with the cross bar?.

Thule doesn't make a round bar. They are known for square bars and more recently aero shaped bars. Yakima on the other hand is more known for round bars like the part #Y00410 for a quantity of 2 66 inch round crossbars.
