I searched, but unless I'm going blind, I can't find specific answers to my question. I'm installing an OEM Euro GT3 Seats in my car.

Where can I find the "by the book" torque values for the following bolts?:

-Seat to Seat Brackets(4 bolts).

-Seat Brackets to the car chassis(4 mounting bolts/E12 socket).

Thanks very much!

Loren

Torx E12 are: 48 ft/lbs. (65 Nm)

Thanks Loren!! Now I just need the torque values for the bolts that holds the seat to the bracket and the stock seat belt to the chassis bolts.

how are you going to get a torque wrench in the stock seat belt bolt? Think you'll need some sort of extension for that one. I could barely work in there.

The only torque specs I see in my (borrowed) manual are 48 ft-lb for the M10x28 Torx (E12) for the rails to the chassis and 37 ft-lb for the seat belt fitting (bolt size and head unspecified). They don't cover installation of the rails to the seat.

I did it this way with a 17 mm deep socket/six pt is perfect /less chance to strip the head.

Thanks!! Its not that I'm doubting Loren, but when I started torquing for 48Ft-lb... felt like too much torque for that bolt.. heard creeking below.. sounded like the anchor nut was ready to give.,.

48 ftlbs is what the manual says and what I have used. Hope your torque wrench hasn't been dropped

Carrera Mike

Thanks Loren! I put blue thread lock too
'bout my torque wrench .. I just had that thing calibrated.

I took detailed photos and DIY is under construction. (I know that Rockitman made a really good DIY of this install before. My purpose in making this one is to give more detailed procedure specially on the removal and install of the electrical harness.
