Torque Values for 1957 R60

Can anybody tell me where I can find torque values for a '57 R60.

I have a couple of manuals that have almost nothing. I sure would like to correctly tighten the fluid drain plugs as i am too heavy handed.

Will hand tighten if needed and never look back, but torque wrenches are a lot more consistent, if the operator doesn't screw things up.

This kind of list is not readily available for the /2s...better info is around for /5-on bikes. Personally, there are very few bolts/nuts that I use a torque wrench on, mostly head bolts, driveshaft bolts, etc. Everything else is a feel tightness. Drain bolts are done by hand, usually I try and create the same feel when tightened as what it took to remove it. With new crush washers, drain bolts only have to be just a little bit past "snug".

One thing I kept was some general guidelines that someone posted for metric bolts. That poster caveated them with they are not official and might not even be correct!

o General torque guideline
* M3 10 in-lbs
* M4 20 in-lbs
* M5 40 in-lbs
* M6 (SW10) 70 in-lbs
* M8 (SW13) 14 ft-lbs
* M10 (SW15) 29 ft-lbs
* M12 (SW19) 49 ft-lbs
* M14 79 ft-lbs

But there are places on the web which provide the same thing for metric bolts which might be worth comparing to. Here's a couple that I've run across:
