As the tongue twisting title suggests, what torque would you all recommend for the LG Motorsports C5 adapter bracket bolts (the ones that bolt the LG brackets to the spindle)?

I know the torque spec is 74 lb ft for the F-body abutment bracket bolts. It's around 125 lb ft for the Corvette bracket bolts (I think this is a 14 mm bolt though, as compared to the 12 mm for the F-body). Would something around the F-body spec of 74 lb ft be best? Not really sure here, just want to do what's best.

I would use the factory torque settings if it were me.

It would appear, based upon your data, that the fastners and knuckle from a C5 is made from a different material and can take the higher TQ values.

Be sure to use Loctite ...

I would torque the bolt to it's assigned value for its given size unless it's a specialty bolt like a torque to yield etc.

The bolt does not know where it's at only that it requires a certain torque value to properly clamp.

Thanks for the responses. I have torqued them to 80 lb ft, and used some blue loctite. I hope they stay there!

For peace of mind, retorque after a couple days.

If they retorque at 80, you should be good to go!
