Just kidding.
I think just moderately tight is enough. Whatever you feel comforatable with your socket or box wrench. Make sure you configure your washers and nylon spacers correctly to allow the seatbelt holsters and belts to rotate freely. |

Thanks Andy and Karl (insert sarcasm here). Karl, I'll try to get that 387 ft/lb with a 6 foot cheater bar. If I take the targa top off, I should be able to get enough torque on it. I'll let you know if I have any trouble. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif)
[Given that no one is really sure what the torque is, and given that these are 17mm bolts, I'm going to guess 30-33 ft/lb. Make sense?]. Thanks for all your help (or unhelp as the case may be). Douglas |

If you feel the inside of the longitudinal go "crunch" when you torque it down - it's too tight (or it's rusty as hell in there).
