Sorry Bible at home and I'm not.

Could someone look up the wheel nut torque setting...I remember it being quite low... think its about 30 lb/sq ft.

That seems VERY low my V8S is 75lb/sq ft = 100nm

Cant see the chim being much different as the same wheels are fitted to both cars

Ahem. I think you mean 75ft/lbs. You are stating a pressure!

See: http://ourworld.compuserve.com/homepages/Peter_Beech/TVR/wheels.htm

Useful site, but hasn't been updated for a while.
