Editing Torque settings (section)

==Standard torque settings per bolt size==
Below is a guideline to the torque levels used on Metric bolts.
Bolt grades are printed on the head of the bolt.
These are for coarse-thread bolts.  Fine-thread bolts typically have torques about 10% lower to give the same tension.

<s>''Note than when fitting bolts into Ally threads like rivnuts, manifolds and S1 uprights then the torque may need to be reduced.'' </s>

''Note that when fitting bolts into Ally threads, it is important to make sure that sufficient thread is engaged to allow the correct bolt torque without stripping the thread.''

'''Special note for Mr. Wiki - This is the thread size, not the head size.'''
