RGS engine mounts

[harpmeister]

Hi, has anyone got the torque settings for the bolts that hold the isolastic mounts onto the frame and also the settings for the nuts on the mounting studs.

Thanks in advance

There was a factory tech bulletin on this back in the day to help reduce vibration. 40 ft lb for the 10mm studs and 24 ft lb for the 12off 8mm fasteners that fix the engine mounts to frame. (The latter will strip if you use the workshop manual figure of 30-37 ft lb and grease the thread!)  I'd opt for clean, dry threads because that's how it was originally assembled. The fasteners are (or should be) high tensile - watch out if someone has ill-advisedly swapped for stainless
