Can anyone advise what torque settings should be on the bolts for the bracket of the PPF?

104-123 Nm for the big one
36-54 Nm for the bracket.

Below is a link to the 1990 service manual. pg M-31

Thanks plohl.

All my tools are human powered at my place Dann - can you please translate '6-8 doogas doogas' into a loudness of a grunt/exhale?

I personally use the volume of my swearing to gauge how overtightened a bolt is.

+1 for a couple ugga doogas with the impact, never had an issue coming loose etc, I always use a bit of antiseize on everything just for peace of mind.

Pretty sh*t job doing anything down there with hand tools
