Is There Roadmaster Base Plate Kit for 2008 Honda Element that Works with Roadmaster EZ Chain Kit  

Updated 11/03/2025 | Published 01/31/2025

Question:

Can the Roadmaster EZ hook safety cables be used with the Roadmaster Direct connect base plate 1541-5? I have a Sterling tow bar and use the EZ hook cables but need to set up a HONDA element for towing. Thanks

Hey Harold, the Roadmaster Safety Chain kit part # RM-655 that you referenced only works with Roadmaster base plate kits that have the crossbar so for your 2008 Honda Element you would want the part # 1541-3 if you wanted to use a safety chain kit.

Hey Harold, did you end up switching to the crossbar-style base plate so you could keep using your EZ Hook safety cables with the Element? Knowing how that setup worked out could help others planning a similar tow setup.

@JamesonC No I switched cables and did not use the crossbar. I'm getting older and it's not getting lighter. The new setup is much easier to deal with .
