Default Rear-end cover bolt torque?

Hi All,

What is the torque setting for the rear-end cover on a 1980 L-82 Auto car? Thanks in advance. Also is there a site that has all of this type of stuff listed?

XRacer, can give you the german specs (similar to US, but different measure units).

The torque spec for the bolt is 69 Newtonmeters.
Haven´t a conversion on hand now, thought you need it quick.
Seems to be like 60 lbft, have the manuals in the garage unfortunately, but remember for sure it was 69 Nm, cause I wrote it on the top of the diff with my signture! :D
