Flat Tow Wiring Bracket For Blue Ox Tow Bar With 6-Way Connector Poles Removed
Updated 10/31/2025 | Published 02/06/2025
Question:
Hello I have a 2016 Ford C-Max base plate with the 6 way connector poles sawed off. What solution do you recommend I use to attach my Blue Ox 6 way connector on my base plate? I have pictures of my base plate for your review. Thank you

Hey Clyde! You will have to be a little more creative since that mounting point was cut off of the base plate. The best option is to use a bracket like the Roadmaster Bent Electrical Socket Bracket # RM-910030-5 and find a different mounting point on the vehicle like the picture below. If you think you have space to mount it, and the mounting holes for the socket line up, you could use the # 18159 you looked at as well.
