hey folks,

my japanese sucks and the directions (such as they are) on the XBrace and STB are in japanese.

anyone know what to torque the bolts to on each of these puppies?

thanks,

help!!

one of you must know!

 

Looking at the instructions (not reading, cause I can't.. Japanese at least).. I see a figure which i suspect is the torque setting:

4.0kgf*m. Not sure what the 'f' is for, unless the kgf translates into Newtons.. in any case I havent bothered to do the conversion yet..

 

f is for force.
I get 4 kgf*m = 28.864 lbf*ft (somebody better check my work, it's late)

y'all rule.

so we're looking at 4.0kgf*m for the Xbrace (aka 28.864 lbf*ft) and 5.0kgf*m for the STB (aka 36.08 lbf*ft)?

i'm a math casualty so who knows if the math is right - i know *i* can't check it (grin).

 

4 pounds of force
2.2 lb per kilo
1 ft = .3048 Meters

4 X 2.2 = 8.8 pound of force

8.8 / .3048= 28.871391076

Pretty close.....it's not horse shoes ya know

 

Oops that would be 4 kilos....X2.2 lb per kilo...
