I've been driving my 2016 991.1 GT3 RS around the tracks regularly, and after this last track event, I noticed that the driver's side rear nuts that hold the wing stable are loose, which allow the wing to rattle up and down a bit. I realize that I need 2 T27 torx wrenches to tighten these nuts. Does anyone know if there's a recommended amount of torque to tighten these nuts that hold the wing in place? Thanks.

There’s a track supplementary owners manual (included with the car) that should have the specs (my GT4 and GT3 have those torque specs in their track manual)

9.7Nm or in olde worlde 7.2ftlb

Thanks. I just tightened estimated a 7-14 ft lbs torque using two ratchets (tight, but not so tight that I stripped the threads). I also was able to use one T27 and one T30 to tighten the nuts, (instead of two T27), as both would fit in and hold the nuts during the tightening process.

I believe the track supplement says 9.7nm... I'm away though so can't check.

These are t30s, the t27s have way too much play.

Yes, I noticed when tightening the nuts on the wing that the T30 fit more snugly in the nut than the T27, as I ended up using both T27 and T30, since I didn't have two T27's. (That first comment of mine about using the T27 was simply from reading other posts here on Rennlist about adjusting the wing in the RS: I read about half a dozen posts and they all said to use a T27 when adjusting the wing nut, which appears to work, but probably isn't the best fit.)
Thanks for your comment.

I've seen the t27 comment a bunch too but hopefully this clears it up... I think even I was repeating after hearing so much.
