Torque Spec for Wing Strut Bolt.

Post by 7794 »

I need to add tie downs to my airplane as it was put back together without them installed. I have new AN8-25A bolts and AN-365 nuts as prescribed on page 20 of the Cessna 120-140 parts manual. I am guessing the nuts and bolts should be torqued to 480-500 inch-lbs. Does that sound correct? If not, I am all ears!

Any and all help is greatly appreciated.

Thanks,
Joe

480-690 is the spec, so I'd set the wrench at about 580.
