2014 Mini Cooper - Roadmaster Direct-Connect Base Plate Kit - Removable Arms

  • Roadmaster
  • Removable Draw Bars
  • Twist Lock Attachment
  • Partially Hidden

Roadmaster's direct-connect brackets are virtually invisible, easy to mount and simple to remove. Brackets install on your Mini Cooper's frame to provide attachment points for your tow bar.


Features:

  • Hidden bracket design provides improved aesthetics compared with standard brackets
    • Direct-connect brackets sit far back for a supremely clean look
  • Drawbars attach and remove quickly and easily
    • Arms click to lock in place in brackets
    • Built-in pull rings let you unlock arms so you can twist and remove them
  • Computer-cut, all-steel construction provides exceptional strength
  • Black powder coat finish is durable and corrosion resistant
  • Simple installation - no welding required
    • Custom base plates ensure a perfect fit for your vehicle
  • Compatible with Quick Disconnects and all Roadmaster tow bars
  • Instructions and mounting hardware included
  • Made in the USA
  • Limited Lifetime Warranty


Note: Roadmaster direct-connect base plates will only work with Roadmaster tow bars that slide into a trailer hitch, such as the Nighthawk, Sterling, Blackhawk, Blackhawk 2, Falcon, or Falcon 2. These base plates will not work with tow bars that require a hitch ball.


The drawbars, or front arms, on the direct-connect base plate kit are supremely easy to mount and remove. Just insert them into the brackets and twist to lock them in place. To remove, simply twist the arms back and pull them out. Once the drawbars have been removed, the remaining brackets are virtually invisible. On most automobiles, the brackets are mounted within the grille, where they remain not only unseen, but protected from scrapes and scuffs as well.

  • Parts Needed to Flat Tow 2020 Mini Cooper and Carry Two E-Bikes
    To pick out parts to flat tow your Mini Cooper I would need to know what year vehicle you have. Do your bikes weigh 110 lb total or is that what they weigh total?

  • Will The Roadmaster Direct-Connect Base Plate Kit RM-521882-5 Fit A 2016 JCW Mini?
    Hi Jay! Roadmaster officially lists the Direct-Connect Base Plate Kit # RM-521882-5 kit as fitting 2014–2019 Mini Cooper S (with or without the S turbo), but they do not officially list it for the JCW model. This is due to the JCW models having different front fascias (bumpers), more aggressive lower valances, and a slightly different crash structure compared to the Cooper S. This is predominantly why Roadmaster doesn't officially list it for JCW trims. At least from what I could find. You...

  • Is Wiring Converter Needed for Flat Towing 2015 Mini Cooper
    That's a good question but a wiring converter is not needed to install the Roadmaster Diode 7-Wire to 6-Wire Flexo-Coil Wiring Kit # RM-15267 on your 2015 Mini Cooper. Since it has separate lighting and your motorhome has combined lighting you can add Tail Light Converter # 118158 if you want to retain your Mini's separate turn and brake signals but it isn't a requirement. In regards to the airline you will run the vacuum line of the SMI Stay-IN-Play DUO Supplemental Braking System #...

  • Can A 2017 Mini Cooper S Convertible Be Flat Towed Behind An RV?
    Though we do have what you will need to get a 2017 Mini Cooper S Convertible set up for flat towing, and I do have a whole set up listed below, you do still want to check with a Mini dealer as there are a few determining factors on if it can be flat towed or not. They will need the VIN, so if you can get that, it will be the quickest way to check. You may be able to just give them all the info they need, but the VIN is the most surefire way to check.

  • How Long Can I Expect To Spend Installing The Roadmaster Base Plate Kit On A 2014 Mini Cooper?
    Roadmaster quotes their installers to take around 2-1/2 hours, however an experienced professional should expect installation of the Roadmaster Direct-Connect Base Plate Kit # RM-521882-5 to take around 3 hours. If you are a novice, you can expect this to take a bit longer as there is some trimming of the shock absorption pad, active air shutter louvers or housing, lower air dam, air deflector, cowling and/or rock guard is required. I have also included an installation video of # RM-521882-5...

  • Parts Needed For Flat Towing A 2014 Mini Cooper
    I can definitely help set you up with everything you will need. Before we get too deep into things, we recommend thoroughly reading your owners manual and confirming towability with the manufacturer before flat towing a Mini Cooper. That said, generally manual transmission models are fine to flat tow. You are also correct in that the front of the paceman and countryman will be the same. Lets start with the base plate and work our way from there. For your base plate I recommend the Roadmaster...
