Roadmaster Sterling All Terrain Tow Bar Safety Cables Replacement Recommendation

Question

Question:

I want to purchase a Sterling tow bar, but will not be using the quick disconnect option. I have base plates on my Z71 2010 Chevrolet Colorado that do not require the cross bar. I bought them from you earlier this year, and I think they are type MX. I want to purchase new straight safety cables and use the cable guides on the tow bar. My question is, what length safety cables do i need? Thank you,

For the Roadmaster Sterling Tow Bar the recommended length for replacement safety cables is 80 inches. Roadmaster lists the coiled cables part # RM-674 which are coiled only for a small portion of the cable and are straight for the rest of it.

The part of the adapter that attaches to the D-rings will have a fixed size pin; either 3/4 inch for #RM-035 or 1 inch for #RM-035-1. The other ends of these adapters attach to the tow bars. So neither one of the adapters will work with both 3/4 and…
