Installed PA Racing K member...?

[sn9550]

the other night by myself with the motor still in the car. I'm glad the thing fit good. I can't believe the access that it provides. Anyway I was wondering if anyone has the torque specs for the four big bolts and the four smaller ones that bolt the k member in place?

ive never heard of any tourque specs on those bolts....i just did a PA k-member myself not too long ago...i just tightend them down "good and tight"....

good luck with the new k-member...Jason makes some slammin stuff 8)

I installed my PAracing K-member 3 weeks ago. Just made sure they were tight (used 3/8 impact gun).

Very high quality stuff.

just get em really tight, like blk88 said i dont believe they have a torque spec. if your pretty good with tools its no problem installing a k-member by yourself, back in 2001 i installed a complete D&D tubuler k-member kit along with 13" Baer brakes in a day :wink:

I'm sure the bolts have a torque spec but I just wondered what everyone did. I torqued the top ones to 100 lbft. and the smaller ones to 60 lbft. Seems to be close to what they were I guess. Now I get to put in my FR manual rack,get it aligned and change the fluids and I'll be ready for this year. Thanks for the input guys.
P.S. according to the MM site - top four bolts @ 89 ft/lbs and the bottom four @ 75 ft/lbs.
