Is Installing Base Plate on a 1991 Mazda Miata for Flat Towing Difficult
Question:
In reviewing the questions and review on this base plate, I see a range of dialogues on how easy/hard it is to install. My guess is that the ease of installation varies a bit by make and model. Ill be installing this on a 91 Mazda Miata. How is the installation process specifically for this car? Are step-by-step directions or a video provided? Also, is it easier to install this base plate than the quick disconnectinch model? How much does this base plate weigh? Thanks!

Expert Reply:
You are correct in that base plate kit installs vary quite a bit from vehicle to vehicle. The # 711-2 which is a fit for your 1991 Mazda Miata is actually one of the easiest to install that I have ever seen.
I attached a link to the install instructions for you to check out but basically you just hold them in place and run bolts through them to in place.
The XL part # 711-4 is also a fit but requires an additional bracket but it still installs pretty easily.
