Pot luck really, local tyre place here does them up to 110nm regardless of model by the looks of it.
Personally I'd go a bit higher, maybe 150? Totally up to you but Google not come up with anything?

For me, it's an 18" bar with a 90kg dude gently bouncing on it. Ie nowhere near loose but equally not as tight as you could.
Hope that helps!
Beware! Bourettes is binfectious.

I do mine up as tight as I can with a box wench by hand. I still need to stand on them to get them undone.
Track days ARE the best thing since sliced bread, until I get a supercharger that is!
Please read my ring story:

Ford M12 wheel studs are very easy to shear off, they usually fail under torsion when undoing them. Don't over tighten no more than 60ftlb or
80nm
The old Ford 7/16" UNF were much less easy to shear but the same torque applies.
M14 as used by Honda, BMW, Rover, Mercedes and others need to be a lot tighter to give me he bolt suffcient elastic stretch or they slacken off
120nm.
BL Mini MG Midget used 3/8" studs 50lbs 70nm is enough.
