Default Torque Settings

Finally getting around to reviewing Torque settings for all the major components of my build whist the chassis is away for powder coat.

Has anyone research this already and have a recommendations?

Suspension bolts
Damper bolts
Engine Mounts
Gearbox BellHouse Bolts
Starter Motor
Steeriing Rack + Column
Front & Rear Uprights
Seatbelts

Some of these should be in the Haynes Manual, so its mainly the unique parts to the chassis.

65nm for suspension and damper bolts is what westfield use

most you want should be the same as the relevent part on the orignal car (in haynes manual) as long as its the same type of bolt/nut pitch and dia

Of course, shop manuals are the best source of information for torques of donor components. But there are many fabricated parts with standard fasteners. For these, there are pages on the internets listing normal torque settings for various grades and sizes of bolts. E.g. 75% of proof load for 8.8 grade M12 is 88 Nm...

http://www.cncexpo.com/MetricBoltTorqueNm.aspx

So, as a rule of thumb, ~90ish Nm for M12, ~40ish for M10, ~25Nm for M8, ~10Nm for M6.
