Thanks for posting the schematics and torque values... I'll have to double-check mine.
I'm thinking of taking the braces and radiator cover out to get power coated black, so I'll get the right torque on everything when I reinstall. Thanks again. |

I did this mod thinking it might make some difference, even if it was mostly placebo effect.
I was wrong, it makes a massive difference. Highly recommend, if handling is as important to you as power. |
