Does anyone have the specs on the correct torque settings for the Shelby-style under-rider traction bar mounts?

Thanks
Daniel

I'm curious also. I bought mine new and there was no mention of torque settings in the instructions. It may take a call to Traction Master to find out.

Just got off the phone with the Traction Master guys and they say to tighten them up just to the point that the bushing is snug and starts to deflect. He also said it is better to be a tad loose then too tight!

Well, since I'm the one that started the question by asking Daniel, seemed appropriate I should call. Now we all know!!

Still waiting on the axles, everything else is finished!
You've got to let me know how the "Surprise" went.
