Hi, I have a simple question. What should I torque these to? I don't know what they are called so could not google.

It has been an ongoing source of confusion with my friends who are used to working on American cars (where pretty much every fastner has a published torque specification) to see that the older British cars leave much to the mechanics judgement, with only some of the key components specified.
