torque spec for the upper strut bolt?
we are putting new springs on my buddies s2000 and i was wondering what the top strut bolt torque spec is. Not the two bolts that hold the strut/spring assembly to the engine bay, but the single gold nut in the center. any help would be appreciated.

Hi 
so does that meant that the 2 nuts on the top of the strut that hold the tower to the inside of the engine bay should be set at 49 Nm? seems a bit high?
thanks
Dan
********nevermind - just checked it on my mate's stock ap1 - 49Nm exactly - thanks anyway!!*******
