Blaine Posted September 22, 2012 Report Share Posted September 22, 2012 (edited) Subframe mounting bolt (M12)Stage one...................50 Nm / 37 lbf ftStage two...................Angle-tighten a further 90 degreesWishbone pivot bolt ........70 Nm / 52 lbf ftWishbone rear mount (M12)Stage one...................50 Nm / 37 lbf ftStage two...................Angle tighten a further 90 DegAlso use new bolts as that further 90 degs is stretching the bolts so only ment to be done to a bolt once Edited September 22, 2012 by Blaine Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pete91 Posted September 22, 2012 Report Share Posted September 22, 2012 (edited) FT is just another measurement as oppose to NM Edited September 22, 2012 by Pete91 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pete91 Posted September 22, 2012 Report Share Posted September 22, 2012 (edited) FT is what i always use for critical things like this.Does it make a difference? I always use NM purely because the first time i looked at a torque setting it happened to be measured in NM.

Pete91 Posted September 22, 2012 Report Share Posted September 22, 2012 There's a difference between FT and ft/lbs.Just different measurements for the same thing... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JoeA Posted September 22, 2012 Report Share Posted September 22, 2012 FT is not a measurement as such, it's either ft or not. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ashh Posted September 22, 2012 Report Share Posted September 22, 2012 I was referring to Pete's comment... Ft Is the setting for everything Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pete91 Posted September 22, 2012 Report Share Posted September 22, 2012 Ah i was just reading it as an abreviation of ft lbs Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pete91 Posted September 22, 2012 Report Share Posted September 22, 2012 Just read back through this thread and realised i originally read it like a retard.

scotty_82 Posted September 22, 2012 Report Share Posted September 22, 2012 FT is a universal tightening standard, it even covers things like bottle tops and jar lids 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
