torque tube pinch bolt grade, strength
WSM says torque to 35 ftlb for 8 grade bolt, 58 ftlb for 12.9 grade. I have 2 new black 93142124000 bolts how do I determine which grade and hence what torque? '78 US 5 speed.

Porsche issued a TSB to up the torque on the pinch bolts,
add 10% to the standard requirement of 58 ft/lbs. So torque the driveshaft pinch bolts to 66 ft lbs add a drop of blue threadlocker to the threads. the bolt may have 12.9 stamped into it this is the bolt strength grade, this is what it should be, best bet post a picture of the bolts you have |
Thanks gents. The 2 new bolts have no markings. Rear trans bolt (0ld) is marked 12.9 is also black and looks the same as fronts. Can I assume new torque specs mean fronts are -12.9? Old front bolts have no markings. |
yes you could assume that if the bolts look like the each other
