- An EZ-5 base plate kit like the # RM-521446-5 that you referenced can attach to your Falcon 2 Tow Bar part # RM-522. With an EZ5 base plate you will attach directly to the arms of the tow bar without using the quick disconnect crossbar setup. Instead of running the thick pin through the crossbar of the base plate it would go directly to the base plate like in the picture I attached.
