I'm going to replace my steering box with a reconditioned one, and the coupler with a new one from Mecatechnic.
Please, are there torque recommendation to secure the steering box nuts and the bolts on the coupler?
I did not find these values on this board.
Thank you, SIMONE |

Never seen a torque spec listed for the steering coupler hardware, I just snug them down then line up the keyway in the castellated nut so you install the cotter key.
The steering box mount bolts are torqued to 18-22ftlb / 2.5-3.0mkg. _________________ 1960 Ragtop w/Semaphores "Inga" |

Appreciate it, I couldn't find it in any of my sources including the '61-'65 Bentley. _________________ 1960 Ragtop w/Semaphores "Inga" |
