Does Demco Hijacker Rota Flex Adapter Use Different Thread Style than Standard Plates
Question:
My older 18K Demco Autoslide guide plates have smooth sliding pins and bolts that thread into place push them out. The pictures on your website of the guide plates show threaded pins instead of smooth ones. Is this a change that Demco made? Are they interchangeable? See attached pictures...

Expert Reply:
What you have is actually what's currently used on the Demco Hijackers like the part # DM8550022. The part # DM6171 is a special adapter for using the Hijacker with a Rota Flex cushioned pin box and that's why it is setup differently.
