I recently purchased a set of used braces off eBay, cleaned them up and had them powder coated high gloss back. I have installed them and am considering having my originals powder coated in a different color like maybe bright red. Has anyone out there have other colors done and installed? Picture please if so.

That's a great price. I paid double that.

Looking for some help researching the torque specs for the bolts that hold the braces. I dont have a shop manual and online hasn't been fruitful. Thanks for any help you can provide.

Additional info: manual recommends that the bolts you circled yellow (56 nm) are replaced. New bolts should be tightened to 56nm and then an additional 1/4 turn. I did not replace the bolts with new when I removed them and I only torqued to 56nm. I have driven around 11k miles without bolts loosening. Last edited by Fifthtoe; 08-13-2022 at 03:31 PM.. |

My braces should be back being power coated very soon. I have everything I need. I might replace the bolts.. it's only 56nm for those bolts.
I also bought a shop maintenance manual so I can look up all the specs for every component I will get some pics when it's done.. by the way the maintenance book says to use helicoil on the threads.. I don't think that is necessary either but let's see when I do the replacement. |
