I've always torqued mine to Tight As H*ll. I'm kinda wanting them to stay put if I had to rely on them. However, I'm sure there's a spec somewhere.

Thank you! That's what I was looking for. Think I'll put some blue threadlocker on the bolts, since at some point the interior will need to come out to do some floorpan work.

Now to get the bolts out...soaked them with blaster, will let them sit a day or two (thanks G body garage). Will have to get the carpet up from around the outer belt strap.

Thanks for the replies!

They poke through the floor, take a wire brush to the threads to get any dirt grease and or undercoating off em.
