MG Car Repair: Torque for rear axle cover bolts, correct torque, torque settings

Question
Hello Howard,

Can you tell me the correct torque settings for the rear axle cover bolts for a 1980 MGB?

Answer
Sorry Wayne, the manual does not quote a torque setting for those bolts. And I never met anyone who torqued those bolts as they are holding a tin cover on a soft gasket. Just be sure each one has a lock washer and snug them down evenly so as to flatten the spring lock washer.
