Not that kind of torque. What do you guy’s torque your front frame connector bolts to. The 4 large bolts that screw in to that big bar bolt thing you slip in to the frame? Thanx

What thread size?
Bolts are torqued according to diameter unless it's some kind of special fastener.

They are for a UMI 3 point frame connectors. It’s the big front bolts that go on to that steel bar that slips through n to the frame. They are 12 to 13 mm bolts.

Standard torque for M12 is 100 Nm. Although that has has SAE markings on the head, so really need to know the thread type.

M12 (100 Nm)
1/2" (105 Nm)
7/16" (70 Nm)
