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.

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.
