Tom, I don’t want to resurrect the thread of if you need to use a torque wrench or not but my car is just a road car that is not used in any competition stuff or anything like that. I never use a torque wrench just the correct length of spanner. If I know the history of the bolts am using and they appear good I will reuse them but as you don’t I would like others invest in new they are reasonable cheap. I am sure the old mechanics in the 50s did this. To my knowledge stretch bolts were not used in Austin Seven engines when manufactured so why do we need them now.
