Re: [Mgs] Wheel Nut Torque Setting - 1908 MGB LE

1908 LE you shouldn't be driving it, should be in a museum...  Sorry I had
to.

To answer the question 60-65 lbs should do the trick. 75 is a bit excessive,
risk breaking the studs at that level.

Subject: [Mgs] Wheel Nut Torque Setting - 1908 MGB LE

Hi,

I do not have a copy of the User's Manual for my 1980 MGB LE (or was 
there such  a manual other than the one that came with the Non- LE MGBs?)

In any case, I can not find the wheel nut torque setting for the 
distinctive LE aluminum wheels.  Over the years I have been using 75 ft 
lbs but that may not be correct

So what do you LE owners use as a setting?

Thanks,
Preston
