Speaking of brass nuts.... The torque (from memory now) is 15 ft/lbs.An
excellant alternitive is stainless steel nuts, never rust, don't strip that
easily, come off time and time again. I've been using them for years, and
re-using the same ones. I long ago gave up on those silly brass nuts.
Not original but practical.
