Default Batwing Bushing Bolt Torque

Anyone know what the batwing bushing bolt torque spec is for a 96'. Installed new bushings but my manual does not list a torque value for these bolts. Tried searching CorvetteForums but no luck so far. I found several torque list but none have this listed.

FSM is on its way but I have a chance to work on the Vette this weekend and can't find several torque values I need. The trailing arm frame bracket bolts and rear sway-bar frame mounts are others not listed in my current manual. Most of the other values I can find.

“Differential Cover to Body Bolt/Screw ……….. 120 N.m (89 lb.ft)”
