Rag joint

Can anyone tell me if there are torque settings for nuts on the rag joint ? Replacing mine and obviously had to drill out the old rivets and replace them with nuts and bolts but I can't find anywhere if there's a torque number for them.
Thanks!

Crank it on and send it. You definitely don't want that coming apart on you in motion
