<div dir="ltr"><b><u>Lug Nut Torque:</u></b> I did check and my studs are 3/8"-24. This is what makes it confusing - <div>The BMC Workshop manual for the Bugeye list the spec. as 37 - 39 lb.ft. The Leyland Workshop Manual for later 948s, list the spec as 44 - 46 lb.ft. Is this because the later cars used 7/16" studs???</div><div><br></div><div><u style="font-weight:bold">Tire Pressure:</u> Again, the confusion - The original blue Driver's Manual specs.
