kerrynzl 3 Report post Posted July 5, 2006 Hey Gus, slight misunderstanding .I'm after the Torque settings in Foot/Pounds or Inch/Pounds [because My old W&B Torque Wrench is Imperial] If someone can only supply the figures in Newton/Metres it will do I aggree with You about Flywheel & PP bolts [i've seen 'em come off too many times] I always Torque them Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
