Helpful Expert Reply:
The Convert-A-Ball Cushioned 5th-Wheel-to-Gooseneck Adapter part # CAB-C5G has no torque spec for the hex head bolts on the collar. I spoke with Convert-A-Ball and they informed that the bolts need to all be flush and evenly tightened but that is all because there is again no torque specifications for these bolts.
The installation instructions do specify that the cap screws should be tightened evenly, making sure the main body of the adapter moves upward toward the pin box until firmly seated. Then they should be torqued to 100-ft-lbs. Next the jamb nuts should be tightened until firmly in place, followed by attachment of the safety chains
