Hey Rod, thanks for reaching out. No, a Lippert 1716 bolt pattern will not directly bolt up to a 1612 bolt pattern. Even though they're both common pin box patterns, the bolt hole spacing and overall mounting dimensions are different, so the holes won't line up. Trying to force the fit or drill new holes in the pin box isn't something I'd recommend since the pin box is a structural component carrying a lot of load.

If you're looking to replace or upgrade a pin box, you'll want to stick with a replacement specifically made for the 1612 pattern like the Lippert # LC1191191.

Are you needing to replace the pin box on your 5th wheel?
