Default Seat belt torque specs confirmation

Hey guys I'm in the midst of a black interior swap on my corvette and am swapping out the oak seat belts to black ones. I read another thread where a member thought the torque specs were the following but he wasn't sure.

"IIRC The seat belts are different. The upper retractor is 31 ft lbs. The lower retractor is 35 ft lbs. Upper guide bolts are 31 ft lbs for coupe."

This is one of those items I want to follow the letter of the torque spec for obvious reasons. Can anyone confirm the above quote is indeed accurate or if it isn't can you provide the correct torque specs for the 3 bolts. Thanks in advance.
