I knew you'd be first out of the blocks, Steve.

What will the forum do for tech data when you've gone???

Cheers.........

Turret top studs to body, front and rear (pair of studs):
All to 36lbs in my Honda ESM. I just checked.
My original estimate now deleted for thread technical accuracy.

Depends which bolts FB means.

The nuts that attach the top mount to the dampers are what I quoted.

The nuts that attach the top mount to the car are as Steve quoted.

No problem, Si. I didn't want to nag you so I went public

Did you get round to checking yours and if so, had they loosened off any?

Cheers.........
