Default 82 Poly Body mount help.

I have the body back on the frame with new poly mounts, BUT I am not sure if there are any torque specs I should follow. Has anyone got any advice?

I'v never saw any when I installed mine,, I don't think you have to worry to much about over torque,, its not like rubber were you can squish the crap out of them, the poly are very stiff. I do remember tightening them very good, you definatly don't want any play, considering the weight of the body and the forces on the road you want them to be tight.

I also think that the inner sleeve will keep anyone from "squashing" them too much.
The only reason I asked is because I accually read the directions and it stated "retorque to ariginal specs. I should never read the directions.
