My book says 22-24 ft lb, which seems about right (tho I never bother using
a torque wrench).  More important, IMO, is to use new lock washers and check
the nuts for tightness occasionally.

On my TR3A, I also found that it helped to use a heavy flat washer on the
front & rear stud (the ones without the cast iron bridge pieces).
