LS1 bracket torque specs

Since my brackets came with no instructions, and Ed hasn't e-mailed me, I would like to know what they are. Thanks.

Re: LS1 bracket torque specs

I just installed mine yesterday.
I know the Haynes Manual called out 74ft/lbs but that was for the bolts holding the caliper carrier to the Ed Miller bracket.

I think it was between 45-50 ft/lbs for the hex and socket head bolt that hold the bracket to the spindle. Oh, dont forget the red loctite on those.

Definatley use Red Loctite or even better, safety wire. I seem to recall a few people have LS1s come loose.

Thanks! I searched but couldn't find them anywhere. I'm amazed Ed doesn't include any instructions or specs with his hardware. Will I need to use any of the washers included?

Since the hardware included washers, I assume they are to be used?
