I searched, but unless I'm going blind, I can't find specific answers to my question. I'm installing an OEM Euro GT3 Seats in my car. Where can I find the "by the book" torque values for the following bolts?: -Seat to Seat Brackets(4 bolts). -Seat Brackets to the car chassis(4 mounting bolts/E12 socket). Thanks very much!
Torx E12 are: 48 ft/lbs. (65 Nm)
Thanks Loren!! Now I just need the torque values for the bolts that holds the seat to the bracket and the stock seat belt to the chassis bolts.
how are you going to get a torque wrench in the stock seat belt bolt? Think you'll need some sort of extension for that one. I could barely work in there.
The only torque specs I see in my (borrowed) manual are 48 ft-lb for the M10x28 Torx (E12) for the rails to the chassis and 37 ft-lb for the seat belt fitting (bolt size and head unspecified). They don't cover installation of the rails to the seat.
I did it this way with a 17 mm deep socket/six pt is perfect /less chance to strip the head.
Thanks!! Its not that I'm doubting Loren, but when I started torquing for 48Ft-lb... felt like too much torque for that bolt.. heard creeking below.. sounded like the anchor nut was ready to give.,.

48 ftlbs is what the manual says and what I have used. Hope your torque wrench hasn't been dropped
Thanks Loren! I put blue thread lock too 'bout my torque wrench .. I just had that thing calibrated.
I took detailed photos and DIY is under construction. (I know that Rockitman made a really good DIY of this install before. My purpose in making this one is to give more detailed procedure specially on the removal and install of the electrical harness. Here's the link http://gallery.rennlist.com/gallery/...at-Install-DIY
