Default Fays2 Watts Link help

I have had the Watts link on my 99 T/A for a few years now. The car is currently at the shop for some issues and they noticed that the Watts link has several bolts that are loose.

I am currently out of town and do not have access to my instruction manual to let them know what the recommended torque settings are. Does anyone have a PDF copy by any chance or could let me know what the specs are???
I called Sam Strano (who I purchased it from), but he is closed today and Jim Fay is out of the country currently (emailed him, but have not heard back yet).

Thanks for the help in advance

sweet thanks man. I will get it over to the shop. Apparently the last shop forgot to torque down the center bolt when they were working on the rear end....Luckily nothing fell off when I was driving it.

Related rant: I suggested to Jim that he add the factory torque specs for the Watts frame as well to the manual. No excuse not to add them there too IMHO.

Lightbulb

That is an old version of the manual, there is a more up-to-date version now.
