Thanks Ben, but I had seen that page on Wiki and assumed that the torque setting quoted referred to the twin nuts which bolt the shock mounting assembly to the bodyshell?

I bought the physical book, but no matter the format, I’ve found the E30 Bentley manual to be worth every penny! I think I found my copy brand new on eBay for around $40.00
