Default Bolt Torque Value

Would anyone have the torque spec for the bolts that secure the underbody braces for a Z06? These are the braces that go from the front cradle to the body. Chevrolet sells carbon fiber replacements.
I am not replacing mine, I had one off the car to add insulation to the oil lines.
Thanks in advance. Gary

If you can show a picture of which bolts specifically on the car I can look it up for you

Default Torque Values

From the 2015 Service Manual, Section 3:

Front Cradle Stabilizer Bar Bracket to Frame Rail: 110 N-M or 81 ft-lb

Front Cradle Mounting Fasteners: 160 N-M or 118 ft-lb

Underbody Side Rail Cross Brace- Front: 100 N-M or 74 ft-lb*

*Note: These are the diagonal braces.

Great, thanks for the help! The diagonal brace values are the ones I was looking for.

Does the manual indicate if these are one time use only fasteners?

I need to get a manual one of these days.

Thanks again,
Gary

There is no indication that these are torque-to-yield, single-use only bolts.
