    LSD housing cover bolt torque spec? (INSIDE the diff)

    Search hasn't turned up what I'm looking for (here, e30tech and google...)

    Anyone know what the torque spec if for the 8 small bolts holding Diff Housing Cover to the LSD unit? Item #4 in this pic:




    Even better, does anyone have a link to the "refer to Technical Data" information that the TIS references? From the TIS:
    Install screws with Loctite No. 270 and tighten down cover evenly.
    Installation:
    For tightening torque, refer to Technical Data




    Getting the race car back together, pulled the 'new' diff apart to confirm everything is OK inside, found one of the bolt at the bottom of the case. All 7 of the rest of the bolts were not very tight. Someone did some work in there and did not add loctite to those bolts like they should have....

    I have the loctite, rest of the diff / lsd innards look good; I just cant seem to find the torque spec for those little fricken bolts!


    TIA!
