1000SFC Yoke Bolts

OK, so 35Nm it is, then!  That won't break the bolt or strip the Al.  I completely forgot the bolt would fail in torsion, not direct tension when I looked up the yield and tensile strength values.  I'm glad you guys are paying attention and keeping me out of trouble.  In the end, it appears, the repair planned will work as intended.  :)

Keep up the good work.  I need all the help I can get.
 
I don't bother with a torque wrench for thoise bolts. I just do them up reasonably tight with a ring spanner. You should be able to feel when a bolt is nicely tight, unless you're a ham-fisted gorilla :D

I agree.  I do the same thing.  You can 'feel' when it's right.  Of course, this means you've done it wrong once or twice in order to know how to 'feel' it.  Yes?

I find an allen key works better.  :-*
