Pin Box Modification- Update

Hi.
Looking for the many years of 5th wheel experience of this forum please.

If we somehow manage to cut the pin box where the white tape is, will it interfere with the structural integrity at all?

If not, what is the easiest way to cut it? We would like to cut it at a slight arc so it's not sharp.

Thank you in advance.


  • I had to cut/clip the corners as well. Cut away. I used a grinder.
  • Plasma cutter will slice it off like butter and you can round the corners as well.
  • I would take a grinder and round the corners. If you want to cut it, I would use a cut off wheel.
  • Can't really say about the integrity, but there have been a number of posts from those who have done it. Don't remember how they cut it though.
  • doesnt look it would make any difference, that back corner area of the pin box is not structural .
