[TR] TR4A Torque values needed

[Darrell Walker]

Hi Jerry,

I dug this out of my archives:

>> Torque specs from the Bentley TR250 and TR6 manual:
>>
>> Lower wishbone mounting bracket to frame   20-25 lb/ft
>> Lower wishbone to mounting bracket............38-46 lb/ft
>> Lower wishbone to vertical link.....................50-65 lb/ft
>>

> difference, might explain why I wear trunnions out.  Can anyone with a
250/6
