RE: Wheel Nut Torque

["David McCarthy" <dave.mac@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

Burt

Don't have an exact conversion for the torque, but off my Torque Wrench
Scale, 50nm's comes out at 37Lb Ft.

Don't have a sized socket either, but a quick check of the Triumph supplied
tool with a measure brings it out at 46mm!

Hope it helps
