My motorbike is the same, except they are only torqued to 8Nm, seems crazy but it works. ________________________________________ "Supercharged - 454.1bhp/317.5lb/ft" Peugeot 306 GTi-6 2000 (X), Moonstone

Just surprises me that a part which has a large amount of load is bolted down with such a low torque. However, it works and that's all that matters. ________________________________________ "Supercharged - 454.1bhp/317.5lb/ft" Peugeot 306 GTi-6 2000 (X), Moonstone
