Torque Spec Front Strut Mounts

[JESFromASC]

Adding a strut tower brace.
Any idea of the correct torque value for the three retention nuts?
I see 33 f/lbs and 43 f/lbs but nothing that gives me any confidence that they are correct.
Thanks

I did mine to 40 lb-ft. No problems

It’s actually 46 ft lbs you have to torque it to.

That was exactly what I was looking for.
Thanks!
Great avatar by the way!

Cusco's front strut bar installation manual says 33 lb.ft. The service manual says 46 lb.ft.

Does anyone know why Cusco's specs are much lower?

Think I'll go with 46.
If I go at all - I'm not at all happy with fit/finish etc on the one I got.
Mounts are unpainted so you have to do that.
Their manufacturer tag is kind of lame and screwed on and adhesive backed.
If you yank it you are left with 2 holes you need to deal with.
Fit look OK at best I haven't unbolted anything to find out for sure.
Must say the ones made for Miatas seem much better since they come with an adjustable tension at each end.
