Just fitted new springs on a S2a 88", anyone know the torque wrench setting for the u-bolt nuts & the shackle bolts & nuts.

The poxy Haynes manual's about as much use as a chocolate fireguard.

U Bolt = 58lb ft
Shackle Bolt = 60 to 70 lb ft
According to Green Bible

I'd be inclined to go with Mr Redlines method

:D
