Umm, I think I zipped on by the original query on this because it
came in when I didn't have much time to read it. But if this is the
sliding "energy-absorbing" bracket I'm thinking of, I seem to recall
remembering that I think I read a spec for it of 90 ft-lbs. I went
through this years ago because when I first got my Spitfire that
bracket was loose. Don't recall if I actually torqued it or not but
I do think I remember trying to get it really snug.
