Torque Settings

Post by Will49 »

In my Service Manual (Photo Copy) Section TD C , Page 7 the torque setting finish at drive shafts so I assume there is another page which I am missing is this the case?
I need the torque setting for the full suspension and brakes as these are about to be started and cannot find them.

While on missing pages from my Service Manual would anybody out there be prepared to photocopy the missing pages that i have now recognised and sendor email them to me to me?

My last page in TD C is page 6 and ends at "Driveshafts" but I didn't think there was anything missing. Mine is an original Lotus manual. What torque settings are you looking for?

Mine also page 7 last with "8" blank.

But I do have 2 TD C sections 6 & 7 pages respectively

The longer set have the details on page 7 (illegible for you) the shorter version page 6, so you are buggered.

Standby.

Like Stu I have 2 TD C sections. The second (longer) version ends page 7 with:

Driveshaft to diff. flange and outboard flange - Thread M10 - 6.9 kgf.m, 50 lbf/ft

Let me know if you need any other figures.

Neil has posted the page from the 7 page version of TD(C) - later version.
The 6 page version is stamped "Dec 86", then revised for later models to 7 pages. Main difference seems to be inclusion of greater breakdown / explanation of chassis number.
I note also that the later version amends some of the set up data, e.g. a diagram is added for the rear ride height and rear Toe in spec is reduced to 1.6 to 4mm total (from 1.6 to 6mm).
Torque settings are all the same, but interestingly, the earlier version states a torque for Prop shaft to Auto gearbox flange ( 3/8UNC : 20 lbf.ft.), but it has been removed from the later version.
