still looking

[rsallen]

Yeah, still looking/waiting for manuals for my 'new'/old tc30.....thats mean while I'd like to do some work.....which means I'm not willing to do any heavy stuff till I've throughly checked and brought this machine up to speed.

Does anyone have the torque specs for the FEL mounting frame bolts that they can/be willing to give me?

I've got more than a few other questions, but at the moment that nagging itch about the mounting point of the FEL frame is praying on my mind.

So they aren't stretch bolts or anything exotic?
I haven't pulled any of them out to measurement for length or diameter.
Is there any reason to over-think this?
