What part are you working on, that you need torque values for?
The important ones are all in the BMC manual, although you'll have to search a bit to find them.
The non-important ones can be done by feel, or the old adage: tighten 'till it strips and then back off 1/4 turn.
FWIW, My other interests are Model T Ford's (1908-1927) and Ford published no torque values for them.

Front suspension parts, I guess 'tight' will do. Thanks
