Hooray!

Fitted the engine and box back into the car yesterday by lifting the front of the car miles in to the air and posting the whole assembly underneath.

However, Haynes doesn't seem to list tightening torques for the cross member bolts! Don't suppose anyone knows what they should be do they? :)

Also, anyone reckon it might be a good idea to buy some new ones just for safety's sake?

Cheers!

they prob don't have a specific torque. think they are a 12mm bolt so don't go crazy on them, but with a 2ft bar tighten them til ya grunt twice! just give them a good pull, common sense should prevail, you can always check them again after a week.
