Shock bolt torque - HBFL_imp - 04-10-2019

No luck searching, anyone with the rear shock bolt torque specs? Thanks !

I can check when I get home, but the top one is like 6 inch pounds. Yes, inch pounds. It will wring off very easily. A couple of members found that out the hard way.

OK, found my shock bolt torque post. Ignore the above, I was wrong.

Here it is:
6.6 ft/lbs upper mounting bolt
Lower is 19 ft/lbs

[ft·lbs] and not [ft/lbs], to be precise (or a bit fussy)

Dodgy

OK, well how do you make a dot like that? My iPad and iPhone will make a dot like that but it is big and bold. And, I don't know how to do it on a PC keyboard either Blush

It is a product of two metrics, so asterisk "*" could do, but looks funky, or many use the hyphen "-", but not interpreted as a negative. The dot is cute and can be interpreted as a product operation.

Well... on a Spanish PC keyboard it is [shift]+[3], although it's not a symbol used in Spanish language (it is used in Catalan, I reckon), but it's handy writing math expresions or units.


(and now I've learnt it has a name! https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Interpunct )

https://middot.net/ Shows how to produce the interpunct or middot on a computer keyboard. Can’t find how to do it on iOS.

ft-lbs is acceptable.

RE: Shock bolt torque - Django - 04-11-2019

Too many characters. Use Nm (Newton meter) and you can leave the dot away. Tongue

Funny how when something new appears once it suddenly recurs. Here’s an example of using • as an interpunct.
