<VV> Re: Wheel stud torque

[Doug Mackintosh]

Not so fast, Smitty!  Having been dissed by Mr. Kalp,
I  took a look at my 1964 supplement and lo and behold
- it says 55-65 ft-lbf! 

BTW I do think its a good idea for you to install the
manual into the inspectors orifice.  Please take
photos of the reaction!

<<Smitty says:  This will be my last post on the
subject and it is only 
to
reaffirm what is correct.  Early wheel lug torque is
45-65 Ft Lbs and 
is
in both the 61 and 64 manuals.  In the 61 book it is
in the text on the
subject and in the 64 book it is under specifications:
section 3.  I
don't understand how I missed those entries.  Thanks
to those who 
helped
me find the info.>>
