Torque for wishbone mounts??

[Seasider]

Anyone know the torque settings for wishbone mounts?
Or is it just the standard tight and a bit more

also the wishbone to hub assembly & three lower bolts.

Tks in advance

Bump... anyone about?

The wishbone pivot bolts are just pinched up with Nylocs. Don't know the torque settings for the bolts on the upright, but they are load bearing bolts and will need to be torqued correctly.

Thanks Peter, All the nuts are nyloc so at the moment looks like tight + a bit more...

Using a torque setting for this application would be pretty useless unless you have arms like a gorilla.
On each side of the new bush (standard TVR) you have a nylon thrust washer which will wear in during use.
Also the chances of the rebushed wishbones slotting into the mounting points exactly are very slim.
