60 Bugeye front suspension torque settings?

[ichthos]

Still at it putting my car back together. Does anyone have torque settings for the front suspension? At the moment I especially need torque settings for the four spring seat bolts and the three shock (damper) bolts.
Thanks,
Kevin

don't know that there is a torque setting - however, most times when you are bolting things to steel plate from memory I think they want about 40 lb

Torque setting are baised upon the diameter of the bolt in question. In fact there is a chart on the web someplace that gives all.

However, for those just snug up tight makeing sure the lock washer is flat and all will be good.

A link to the Engineer's Handbook standard torque values:

Standard Torque Table

Hope that helps.

Easy isn't it when you break the code.
