74 nm will do the trick , use 277 thread locker so they dont come loose and stuff the crank !
dont for get I need your old stock flex plate bolts ( please )

No Problem...still have them, minus the 2 we had to drill.

You would not believe what happened....lock tight and torqued up..all was fine till the clutch bolts. Was used to the crank bolts and nipped one too quick and snapped off the first one.....

engine will have to wait till later on in the weekend.

Thanks seagull for the quick call...

Matt,
the torque settings should have come with the fitting instructions for the adaptor plate and modified flywheel.
I don't have them because it was already fitted when I bought the car, but on the ricola site http://www.ricola.co.uk/KEPfit.htm  he torqued the flywheel bolts to 50ft/lbs.

No probs Matt

Flywheel bolts are 69-75 Nm or 51-55ft lbs
the clutch bolts are 15.7 Nm or 1.1ft lbs
cheers

speedster356,
I think you had a typo, 15.7Nm is about 11.6ft/lbs, not 1.1!

cheers
