Thanks so much for the photo it was extremely helpful; Demco Hijacker Autoslide Capture Plates for Trailair Rota-Flex Pin Boxes # DM6171 you referenced will absolutely work on your Demco Hijacker 5th wheel hitch such as # DM8550034.

I contacted Demco concerning this and they told me that these capture plates are now all threaded and you can simply remove your capture plates and install the # DM6171 in their place.
