Wheel nut torque?
Hi, how tight do you do your nuts? wondering as i had mine set to the same as the tin top and thought that would be ok but during my sva i removed two
nuts as requested and one had the thread slightly buggered - dreading checking the rest now
Cheers

Personally I dont torque them....
I do them up tight with a wheel wrench and thats it. They are very unlikely to come undone....
The only bolts I torque are things like suspension bolts and head bolts, I do pretty much everything else by 'feel'.

Hi, Yeah i know what you mean but with my choice of tools are either a short 1/2 inch ratchet and im always left feeling they could be tighter and the
next step up is my 24" breaker bar which would certainly ruin them without feeling tight. Knowing a rough torque NM or LBFT setting would just
be piece of mind.

I have alloy M12 wheelnuts and use 90Nm. Copper slip them and you should be fine.

I use 110Nm as recommended for my vauxhalls, and will prolly go with that for the locost in the absence of a mazda manual.

The correct torque setting for both Cortina and Sierra wheel nuts is 90 Newton Metres.
