Question:

Hi there, I would like to know where would the tow bar brackets to flat tow my 1999 Miata bolt onto? Would they go where the tie down hooks attach to at the opening of the front nose of the car? Thank you

Helpful Expert Reply:

That is correct, base plates like the Roadmaster # 711-2 and # 711-4 use the front tie down plate mounts as mounting points. The # 711-4 with removable arms will use the front tie down plate mount and stabilizer bar mounts. The # 711-2 uses the front tie down plate mount and frame. I have attached the written instructions below.

In addition to the base plates you will also need the following:

-Tow Bar: Roadmaster Falcon 2 # RM-520

-Safety Cables: RoadMaster 68" Single Hook, Coiled Safety Cables # RM-643

-Wiring: Roadmaster Diode 7-Wire to 6-Wire Flexo-Coil Wiring Kit # RM-15267

-Supplemental Braking System: Brake Buddy Select 3 Portable Supplemental Braking System # HM39524

More than likely you will also need a high-low adapter. I have attached a helpful article on how to measure to choose the correct adapter, along with a link to all of our available high-low adapters for your reference.
