DVA Utility Belt Bolt Torque

[Chris U]

Anybody have a torque spec for the bolts holding the utility belts on the side?

You could general torque settings based on the bolt size. Look under the heading GENERAL TORQUE VALUES:

INEOS Torx bolt sizes and torque settings (Fastener types)

Various torx screws/bolts described and their torque settings provided where know.

• TheDocAUS
• bolts fasteners help screws torque torx
• Resources, Maintenance Tutorials, Procedures and guides.

This is from online manual factory screws and rails.

My experience with DVA screws and rails were the screw heads were too small for the rails holes and would not take anywhere near that torque without pulling through. (It is actually the hole diameter that is the problem, too large for m6 countersunk screws)
They sent me larger headed screws which worked.
Orignal screw head dia: 11mm
Replacement screw head dia: 12mm

Cautionary tale...

This was my observation as well.

I replaced mine with 316 stainless and torqued them to 8 foot pounds with pink (lowest strength) loctite.
