Caliper Slide Bolt Torque Setting?
Anyone know the torque setting for the slide bolts on a MK1 Focus?
Tried googling can't find 'owt. Or even a 'safe' torque setting?
I tightened mine up as much as I could last time and I think I oughta torque them up
Bailes.

you mean the little 13mm ones?
as tight as you can make them without overdoing it with a breker bar
so use a 1/2 drive ratchet and bang them up

oh, the 7mm allen key ones yes?
still do them buggers up as tight as they will go as they will come to a stop when they nip up and then simply hip them up a bit more
