    48 ford f1 king pin torque setting

     



    I just had to flip my king pin around for the classic performance disc brake conversion kit. Does anyone know the amount of torque it should be tighted to?

    I need to torque the kingpin retaining pin in place. I called Sacramento Vintage Ford, and they do not believe there is a torque spec, just tight!

    Yeah, they didn't worry about torque specs on every little bolt and screw back then. My '48 manual just sez, "install" and leaves it up to the mechanic to do it right.
    If you need alighnment specs, I've got 'em.

    I have to say, I am always impreessed by your replies, especially because of the great pictures you add. I find a picture really is worth a thousand words.
