How tight..... shock tower brace? Recently purchased an STB by BMR. How tight can I tighten the nuts? Obviously a tork wrench would be too much. I'm using a basic 15 MM wrench. Can I damage the firewall at all?
Thanks
Thanks

Since you don't want to use a torque wrench then be aware that 32ft-lbs qualifies as "kinda tight". 75ft-lbs would be "pretty tight", 125ft-lbs would be "real tight", and anything more than that (crank bolts, etc.) would be "super tight" <img border="0" title="" alt="[Big Grin]" src="gr_grin.gif" />
