MG Midget and Sprite General - trunnion torque values

I'm in the process of installing some Peter May neg. camber trunnions but I can't seem to find the proper torque values for the trunnion and swivel pin nuts. I know it must be in my manual somewhere, but I can't seem to find it (I guess if I wasn't looking for it, the book would open to the right page!). If someone could provide those values, I would certainly appreciate it!

40 foot lbs ... That sure seems like alot to me!

Id get a 2nd opinion before you sench em up that tight... Cause im not sure thats grade 8 metal.. and stipping those theads would make for a long day.

BTW... I used a Nyloc instead of the castle nut with cotter pin set up... that was like 6 years ago, and still no issue.. others may dis-agree... something to consider.
