Default Where to find torque specs

Greetings - new owner of a 2012 C2S, learning lots from this forum.

Made a move I probably shouldn't have... I wanted to attach the eyelet connectors for my battery charger with the negative to the chassis, and I've seen pictures from others to use this (front strut tower) as a ground point. Rather than getting an additional nut, I got ahead of myself and started undoing the nut circled in red. I realize it'll need to be torqued back to some number I'm not aware of.

Is there a reference I can lookup, or does someone know what I'll need to torque this back to?

Thanks

Absent other input, I would go with 24 ft lb.

This is from an older pdf service manual for a 991.1 circulating around:

Thank you @Rich_Jenkins ! That looks pretty definitive.
Can't say my torque wrench has been calibrated, but I'll have to trust that to be better than my bare hands.
