Thread: CF Stock torque settings

Even though its obvious, it’s still worth pointing out, mine is stainless and a stripped head or thread would easily spoil an evening.

I googled it as well and ended up going 35 on the front and 18 on the back, from the way it felt, I don’t think the back screw could have gone any tighter.

You'll be fine with that - I've been running my wife's Model 7 at 35/20 for the last 33 years!!!!
