Parts Needed To Add Bike Rack to 2001 Mazda Miata with Class I Trailer Hitch
Sounds like your Mazda Miata's trailer hitch is a Class I trailer hitch with a 1-1/4" receiver. If so you won't need any additional parts to attach a bike carrier. You'll just need the carrier. For a bike rack, I recommend going with the Kuat Beta 2 Bike Rack, # B202-114. This is a quality, lightweight bike rack that is compatible with Class I trailer hitches. I have attached a video review of the bike rack for you to check out. If you plan on carrying any womens, childrens or alternative...

What Is the Weight of the RoadMaster Tow Dolly and What is Coupler Height
I called RoadMaster and got the following weight measurements. The weight of the dolly is 545 pounds. The shipping weight is 694 pounds. I have sent an update email to have this information corrected on our site. The trailer tongue and coupler height are fixed, they are not adjustable. A ball mount should be selected that has the proper rise or drop so that the dolly is riding level on the axle. The coupler height is 18 inches on the dolly. So you would need a ball mount that would keep...

Adapter to Flat Tow a 2016 Jeep Wrangler Unlimited with EZ4 Base Plates Using a Blue Ox Tow Bar
The adapter # RM-032 is a match for the EZ4 base plate kit that fits your 2016 Jeep Wrangler Unlimited, part # RM-521448-4. There is no adjsutment to be made. If you need other parts to setup the Jeep to be towed I recommend using the Hopkins wiring kit, part # HM56200, for lighting. It plugs in behind the Jeep's tail lights and provides a 4-way at the front to connect to the RV. You also need a Brake-Lite relay, part # RM-88400, to keep the Wrangler's lights from overriding the RV's....

Will Roadmaster Base Plate to Tow Ready Towbar Adapter Fit 711-4 XL Base Plates
Roadmaster replacement crossbar/adapter # RM-025 will fit the XL base plates you have, # 711-4. But in order to make the XL arms easily removable with this bar you will also need Quick-Disconnects # RM-201. I took some measurements of the bar and have included a picture showing them. The distance from the center between 1 set of tabs and the center of the other set is 30-5/8 inches.

Can Hollywood Racks Destination Bike Rack Be Used on a 2003 Mazda Miata
The Curt Class I Trailer Hitch # C11749 and the Hollywood Racks Destination Bike Rack # HLY94FR is a perfect combination for your 2003 Mazda Miata! We don't have the hitch mount bike racks fitguided because these are essentially universal fits - the only time a hitch rack won't fit is when it comes to bumper clearance but most of the time this isn't a factor, and since the Destination has 9-1/4" of clearance when folded up I don't see this being an issue at all for you.

Hollywood Racks Baja 2 # HRB2 Bike Rack Installation on a 1993 Mazda Miata
The Hollywood Rack Baja 2 will install directly on the trunk of your 1993 Miata. You will start with the interlocking adjustment hubs completely loose, until you have placed the rack on your car and have adjusted the angle of the dual carrying arms to be either parallel to the ground or angling slightly up. Then flip the lever that will lock the hubs into place. Our installation notes also state that you can use the tow loops on the side of the vehicle to attach straps or hooks, and the...

Trunk Mount Bike Rack Recommendations for a 1993 Mazda Miata
For the 1993 Mazda Miata there are several trunk mount bike racks that will fit. I have included a link to the options for you. My number 1 pick for a 2-bike rack is the Thule OutWay, # TH45JV. What makes this rack so great is the 2 rubber coated straps instead of the usual 4-6 of other racks that make installation faster and easier than any other bike rack I have used. I own the 3-bike version of this rack and it is by far the best one I have used. If you will be carrying any bikes that...

Trailer wiring for 2000 Mazda Miata

Will Curt Wiring Harness # C56175 Fit 1997 Mazda Miata
The Curt wiring harness # C56175 that you referenced is a fit for the 1997 Mazda Miata so long as your Miata does not have LED taillights. Given the model year of the vehicle it likely uses standard incandescent bulbs which are compatible with this trailer wiring harness. This kit includes zip ties and quick-splice connectors. Wiring is best done with a tester like # PTW2992 to enable you to confirm the function carried by each wire on the Miata. Wire colors cannot be relied upon for identifying...

Using Wire for Bed Cap 3rd Brake Light Instead of Brake Stoplight Switch to Install Brake Controller
As long as you have verified that the wire in question only goes hot when the brake pedal is applied, there is no reason why you cannot use the wire intended for the bed cap third brake light. If you do not have a circuit tester, we offer one, part # PTW2993. Certain vehicles (like GM trucks produced in the late 1990s) had brake switch wiring that was very difficult to access. In those instances, we typically recommend doing exactly what you propose.

Trunk Bike Rack Recommendation for a 2004 Mazda Miata
The Thule Gateway Pro 2 Bike Rack # TH88VR that you referenced has been confirmed to fit your 2004 Mazda Miata and it does not have adjustable height arms. However, that adjustment is so that the arms are level while on the vehicle. Not for varying heights. Hanging style bike racks aren't designed so that the rack attaches to the lower tube of the bicycle so I can't safely recommend you do that. Your best bet would be to use a frame adapter like the part # 64005. You should have enough...

Does the Blue Ox Tail Light Wiring Kit with Block Diode # BX8811 Come With a 4-Way Connector
The Blue Ox Tail Light Wiring Kit with Block Diode # BX8811 that you referenced does not come with a 4-Way connector as you stated.

Converting Separate Turn Signals and Brake Lights on a Motor Home to Combined to Use a Light Kit
I will be happy to help you out. The separate brake light circuit is going to have to be combined with the turn signals in order to use a light kit with a 4-Pole connector. There is a special converter for this, # RM-732. On the input side you will connect the right turn signal wire to the green lead, the left turn signal wire to the yellow lead, and the brake light wire to the red lead. The converter will properly combine the signals and on the output side you will have green for right...

Parts Needed to Flat Tow 1999 Mazda Miata
You'll be able to use most of the parts you have already depending on what you have but you will definitely need a new base plate kit like the Roadmaster part # 711-4 as that portion is vehicle specific. Your Falcon tow bar # RM-520 will work as-is though. For lighting you can use the diode kit, # RM-15267, and not have to worry about cutting into the taillight housing if you old setup was a permanent install kit. This will splice into your taillight wiring to allow your tow vehicle to...

What Parts And Accessories Do I Need To Flat-Tow 1990 Mazda Miata MX-5 Behind 2001 Winnebago Brave
To flat-tow your 1990 Mazda Miata MX-5 behind your 2001 Winnebago Brave, you will need base plates, tow bar, safety cables, vehicle wiring or lights, and a supplemental braking system. For a base plate kit, you will need Roadmaster XL Base Plate Kit, part # 711-4.
