Torque Specs

I removed the tranny/axles & took to a local shop for re-build and I'm preparing for re-install. Does anyone know of a Website/reference for all the torque specs I'll need during this install (year is 1963 - if this matters)??? Thanks.

I haven't found a web resource for this info. Here's what I get out of my books... Transaxle to frame = 18 ft. lbs. CV joints = 25 ft. lbs.

Frame horn bolts size 18x1.5mm 166 ft lbs Rear axle retainer bolts 10x1.5mm 43 ft lbs Rear axle nuts 24x1.5mm 217 ft lbs Front trans mount 10x1.5mm 36 ft lbs All the 8mm nuts that are in the case are 14 ft lbs Information can be found in repair manuals such as the Bentley factory manual or sometime in the Clymers or Haynes manual.

Thanks guys. New transmission mounts arrived today & re-build items will be ready for pick up on Friday. Just need to pick up some shocks & "good to go"...
