Default Goodridge SS brake line question

Anyone happen to know what the recommended torque is for the brake line bolts? I just got my powder coated rotors & decided to add the SS brake lines while I had everything apart.

Thanks.

It`s less than stated on the package. I used those values and the banjo bolt twisted off. I called Goodridge and they said just tighten them by feel and check for leaks. They said the values on the package were ball park figures.

This site might be of assistance for future torque reference.

It has the "brake caliper inlet fitting bolt" torque...

Default torque for goodrich

Just installed them on my 00 with the caliper paint, etc. Snugged them up with box wrench and then checked them while bleeding brakes. They have crush washers on them and there is no need to tighten any more than to have zero leaks and no movement.
