Hello Bruce. Per the, yellow, VW Without Guesswork, 1960-1970, "Clamping bolt link pin to torsion arm" 10mm bolt, the torque is 32lb/ft for a type 1 and 29-36 for the type 2.
Hope this helps, Bill. |

Bolt sizes are determined by the diameter of the shank, not the size of the bolt head.

| Sorry to dig up an old post but do you guys know if there are any washers, flat and/or lock, on the nut side of the pinch bolt? I'm putting my beam back together and noticed my old hardware consists of only a nut and bolt. Intuition is telling me to put a lock washer under the nut. |

Yes, looks like they should have a split ring lock washer. #13 as shown in the obsolete parts catalog...

...and in the WW catalog as well...

You're welcome!
Sometimes us mechanics have to take a peek into the parts dept for answers to our questions
