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

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

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