tipper i ain't sayin' you can't overtorque the damn thing. I was simply curious what his post had to do with torquing a clamp.
Yes having a known torque on a clamp, for a brake that is screwed onto the barrel and timed by the clamp, is a very good thing. I would say there are already several good suggestions here to do just that.
I would say torque it to the minimum torque, that would hinder a missing link like myself from moving it at all, with all the pressure i could exude from my rather sizable meathooks. Very scientific i know, but until an actual spec is given that will have to be good enough.
