Strut brace torque?

[TURBO2GO]

Does anyone know what the rear strut brace on a Targa should be torqued to? There are 2 bolts on the firewall, and 4 on the rear struts. If anyone can answer this it would be greatly appreciated!

Hi, TURBO2GO.

If you are referring to the triangle brace in the engine bay, then all six bolts at 22Nm.

Hope that helps.

I thought it was 53 Nm for the the ones on the actual strut tower. I don't think I ever found the firewall one's when I installed my STMPO bar.

If we are talking about the OEM targa strut brace with OEM bolt size/material, then all six at 22Nm.
It’s 12mm size bolt so pretty much all of them are at 22Nm.

He needs the ones that attach to the strut towers themselves. The OEM brace is 3 pieces. Based on another thread he's attaching a 1 piece STMPO bar. The above diagram includes to fire wall and connecting the 3 pieces together, but not to the actual strut towers. I'm pretty sure those are 53 Nm.

Yes exactly. I was wondering about the torque on the strut nuts.
