I don't think there is any torque specs for things like bed bolts, torque specs are usually reserved for things that need even pressure over a larger area to keep things held down evenly like a cylinder head.

Just use good judgement and get them tight. A little Loctite wouldn't hurt if you are concerned with them backing off.

Wow Czechman, (light bulb lights up here)

I was going to get some castle nuts myself and drill a hole in one of the castles for a coter pin so they wouldn't back off, not an easy project I was dreading. The loctite never came to mind. I am glad I read these posting everyonce in a while. Loctite will do just a good a job and be much easier. Plus I think I have some in the bottom drawer of the tool box. Thanks again for the tip!

John
