Dunno, I'd have thought most of the job would be 'Fitter Feel'?

Anyway, have a shufty through this Nigel:

I would not be bothering with a torque wrench for what are just body fixing bolts.

Save your cash.

I am assuming by body off you mean a full suspension strip and refurb / wishbones etc

generally you get little ones for accurate 0-25lb/ft and more general 20-100 or 200

I would go for a 20 - 100lbs which will be good enough for most stuff apart from main hub nuts etc.

there is a list somewhere of all the torque settings .... just trying to remember where it is.... I'm sure it was posted in the Griff forum a few years ago by Seasider..(now Del203)... might be on the Griff pages as well..
