Question:

So for the e16 head I would need a different saddle so the square legs will bolt on. Along with purchasing the legs. I can not find the saddle that will work with e16 legs

The Replacement Base Legs for Curt A16 5th Wheel Trailer Hitch # C16920 are NOT compatible the E16 head # C16515. Although they may bolt up Curt says are not compatible. You will need to either upgrade the head to the A16 # C16520 and use the A16 legs or use the Replacement Base Legs for Curt E16 5th Wheel Trailer Hitch # C16903 with the E16 head # C16515.

The A16 is a much better option but at a greater expense. The E16 legs with the E16 head are much more cost efficient but is the base model.

I spent some time researching and ended up calling my contact at Curt. Unfortunately the brackets you are missing for the legs are not a replacement part available from Curt. He said that since you are missing the legs and the brackets, the only way to get what you need is really to replace the hitch with the Curt E16 5th Wheel Trailer Hitch - Slide Bar Jaw - 16,000 lbs # C16115.
