Pretty simple question just got a NEAR base for my TRG, and was wondering what torque settings people are using for the screws.
Thanks

Re: NEAR Mfg. TRG base torque setting?
What does the instruction set say? I can go dig mine out, but I think it was around 20 in-lbs.

Same with mine. 28 in-lbs sounds correct. You can always give Richard a call in the morning. He should have included the instructions, but he is a busy guy and may have missed it. He will set you straight.
p.s.-I must have tossed my spec sheet. I can no longer find it.

Near torque specs are
Base Screws
6x48 18-20in/lbs
8x40 20-24in/lbs
Ring Crossbolts 65in/lbs
Ring Cap Screws
8x40 15-22in/lbs
These were taken from the card I received when I got my base and rings.
